Random Password Generator in JavaScript

This is a password generator that generates random passwords. The resulting passwords don't make any sense, but they are random (and thus, very secure). You can specify a lot of different parameters to modify the way the program generates passwords in the pgconfig.json file.

The settings file should be located in the same directory as the program, and it can alter these parameters:

• The characters to use in the password: specify the chars key. The value of this key is a string of characters to use.
• Booting to verbose mode or not: specify the verboseMode key. The value of this key is a boolean; if it is true, then the program enters verbose mode, otherwise, well, it doesn't.
• The password's length: specify the passwordLength key. The value of this key is an integer; the length of the password.
• Entering an infinite loop or not: specify the infiniteLoop key. The value of this key is a boolean; if it is true, then the program enters an infinite loop, otherwise, well, it doesn't.
• The amount of passwords to generate: specify the passwordCount key. The value of this key is an integer; the amount of passwords to generate.

You can now specify these flags on the command line or set the proper keys in the pgconfig.json file:

• -h or --help: Show a help message.
• -a or --about: Show about message.
• -v or --verbose: Enable verbose mode.
• -i or --infinite: Enable infinite mode.
• -c or --create: Scaffold a basic settings file.
• -p or --prompt: Override flags and prompt the user directly.
• -V or --version: Show version. Since none of the flags require any parameters, you can actually join them, like this: -vi.
