Function Documentation

generate_password()

char * generate_password	(	int	len,
		bool	upper,
		bool	num,
		bool	special )

Generates a cryptographically secure random password.

Uses libsodium's randombytes_buf for secure entropy and guarantees the inclusion of at least one character from each enabled pool (upper, num, special) using a secured Fisher-Yates shuffle.

Parameters

len	The desired length of the password.
upper	Whether to include uppercase letters.
num	Whether to include numbers.
special	Whether to include special characters (!#$%^&*()).

Returns

A dynamically allocated string containing the password. The caller must free it.
