generate()

To generate a PIN with PyPassKit, use the generate() function.

import pypassplex as ppx

password = ppx.pingen.generate(8) # the number given as an argument is the PIN length
print(password)

The generate() function takes one optional argument:

length (int, default=6) - Controls the total character length of the generated PIN.

To determine the PIN entropy with PyPassKit, use the entropy() function.

import pypassplex as ppx

entropy = ppx.pingen.entropy(8) # the number given as an argument is the PIN length

The entropy() function takes one optional argument:

The module raises standard Python exceptions with specific error codes when invalid configurations are provided.

[236] TypeError Triggered when a non-integer value is passed for the length argument in entropy().
[237] ValueError Triggered when the integer value passed to length is shorter than 1.
