Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## πŸ” Password Generator Generate strong, secure passwords instantly β€” with clear strength indicators and flexible options. This Actor helps you create passwords that are hard to guess, easy to configure, and suitable for everyday use, work accounts, or automation. --- ### βœ… What this Actor does This Password Generator creates random, secure passwords based on your preferences, such as: - Password length - Character types (letters, numbers, symbols) - Bulk generation (multiple passwords at once) - Readability options (exclude confusing characters) Each generated password includes **easy-to-understand strength feedback** so you can confidently decide where to use it. --- ### πŸ‘₯ Who is this for? This Actor is useful if you are: - A **developer** needing test passwords - An **IT / DevOps** user creating credentials - A **small business owner** setting up accounts - A **privacy-conscious individual** improving security - Anyone who wants **better passwords without complexity** No security knowledge required. --- ### βš™οΈ How it works (simple explanation) You choose: - How long the password should be - Which characters to include (letters, numbers, symbols) - How many passwords you want The Actor then: - Uses **secure randomness** to generate passwords - Measures how strong each password is - Adds **friendly guidance** if improvements are recommended That’s it. --- ### 🧾 Input options | Option | Description | Default | |--------------------|------------------------------------|---------| | `length` | Password length (8–128 characters) | `16` | | `count` | Number of passwords to generate | `1` | | `uppercase` | Include A–Z | `true` | | `lowercase` | Include a–z | `true` | | `numbers` | Include 0–9 | `true` | | `symbols` | Include special characters | `true` | | `excludeAmbiguous` | Remove characters like O/0/l/I | `false` | | `noRepeats` | Prevent repeated characters | `false` | --- ### πŸ“€ Output you’ll get Each generated password includes: - The **password** - **Length** - **Strength label** (e.g. *Very Safe*) - A short **strength hint** - A **color indicator** (green / yellow / red) - Creation timestamp Strong passwords show **no warnings**. --- ### Example **Input:** ```JSON { "length": 16, "count": 1, "uppercase": true, "lowercase": true, "numbers": true, "symbols": true, "excludeAmbiguous": false, "noRepeats": false } ```` **Output:** ```JSON { "recordId": "01KD3KBX30BPNC87V3451Z5F4W", "password": "GZy@yk2DFuuMnMP?", "length": 16, "entropyBits": 94.9364266729582, "strengthScore": 90, "strengthLabel": "Very Safe", "strengthHint": "Recommended for most accounts", "strengthLevel": 4, "strengthColor": "green", "effectiveNoRepeats": false, "warnings": [], "riskFlags": [], "createdAt": "2025-12-22T17:57:56.962Z" } ``` ### 🟒 Strength colors (easy to understand) | Color | Meaning | |-----------|----------------------------------------| | 🟒 Green | Strong β€” recommended for most accounts | | 🟑 Yellow | Acceptable, but could be improved | | πŸ”΄ Red | Weak β€” adjust settings | These are **guidelines**, not errors. *** ### πŸ”’ Security & privacy - Uses **cryptographically secure** random generation - No password reuse - No external API calls - No personal data collected - Passwords exist only within your Actor run and dataset You stay in control. *** ### πŸ“Š Where results are stored Generated passwords are saved in the **default dataset** of the Actor run. The Actor output provides a **direct link** to view results in a table. *** ### πŸ§ͺ Common use cases - Creating passwords for new accounts - Generating credentials for test environments - Password rotation - Automation workflows *** ### πŸ› οΈ Technical notes (optional) - Built as an Apify Actor - Uses Node.js cryptography - Strength is based on entropy (randomness) - Generator version is included for traceability You don’t need to understand this to use the Actor. *** ### βœ… Summary βœ” Simple to use βœ” Secure by default βœ” Suitable for humans and automation Generate strong passwords β€” safely and easily. # Actor input Schema ## `length` (type: `integer`): Length of each generated password. ## `count` (type: `integer`): How many passwords to generate in a single run. ## `uppercase` (type: `boolean`): Adds uppercase alphabetic characters to the password. ## `lowercase` (type: `boolean`): Adds lowercase alphabetic characters to the password. ## `numbers` (type: `boolean`): Adds numeric digits to the password. ## `symbols` (type: `boolean`): Adds special characters such as ! @ # $ % ^ & \* ( ). ## `excludeAmbiguous` (type: `boolean`): Removes visually similar characters such as O, 0, l, and I to reduce confusion when typing passwords. ## `noRepeats` (type: `boolean`): Prevents characters from repeating. If the selected length exceeds the available character set, repeats will be enabled automatically. ## Actor input object example ```json { "length": 16, "count": 1, "uppercase": true, "lowercase": true, "numbers": true, "symbols": true, "excludeAmbiguous": false, "noRepeats": false } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `overview` (type: `string`): Link to the dataset containing generated passwords and their strength metadata. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("hulkscrape/password-generator").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`πŸ’Ύ Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // πŸ“š Want to learn more πŸ“–?
