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 ## password-generator Helps you Generate Passwords ## 🔐 Password Generator & Compliance Actor Generate **secure, policy-driven passwords at scale** with enterprise-ready defaults, hashing, entropy scoring, rotation metadata, and export support — all in a **single Apify Actor run**. This Actor is designed for: * Developers * DevOps & CI/CD pipelines * Security & IAM teams * Regulated environments (enterprise IT, banking, government) --- ### ✨ Key Features * 🛡 **Security presets** (Personal, Enterprise, Banking, Government, Vault-Safe) * 🔐 **Cryptographically secure password generation** * 🔢 **Bulk password generation** (hundreds or thousands per run) * 🧮 **Entropy calculation & strength classification** * 🔑 **Hashing support** (bcrypt / SHA-256) * 🚫 **Hash-only / vault-safe mode** (no plaintext output) * 🔁 **Password rotation metadata** * 📄 **CSV / TXT / JSON export** * ⚙️ **Automation & CI/CD friendly** * 💰 **Simple pay-per-run pricing** --- ### 🧠 How It Works 1. Select a **security preset** 2. (Optional) Override with advanced options 3. Passwords are generated using cryptographically secure randomness 4. Optional hashing, entropy scoring, and rotation metadata are applied 5. Results are returned as structured output The Actor is **stateless**: * No passwords are persisted * No secrets survive the run * No external services are contacted by default --- ### 📥 Input Configuration Due to Apify platform constraints, inputs are **flattened** and validated at runtime. #### 🔹 Common Inputs | Field | Description | | ---------------- | ------------------------------- | | `preset` | Security preset to apply | | `count` | Number of passwords to generate | | `passwordLength` | Length of each password | --- #### 🔹 Advanced Inputs | Field | Description | | ------------------ | ------------------------------------- | | `entropyEnabled` | Enable entropy & strength calculation | | `hashingEnabled` | Enable password hashing | | `hashingAlgorithm` | `bcrypt` or `sha256` | | `hidePlaintext` | Suppress plaintext passwords | | `rotationEnabled` | Add rotation metadata | | `rotationDays` | Rotation interval in days | | `exportFormat` | `json`, `csv`, or `txt` | > 💡 **Presets apply secure defaults**. Advanced options override preset behavior when specified. --- ### 🛡 Security Presets | Preset | Intended Use | | ------------ | ---------------------------------- | | `personal` | Individual or low-risk use | | `enterprise` | Corporate & internal systems | | `banking` | Higher entropy & stricter policies | | `government` | Maximum entropy & rotation | | `vaultSafe` | Hash-only, no plaintext output | Presets are **enforced contracts**, not suggestions. Invalid combinations fail fast. --- ### 📤 Output Format Each Actor run produces a structured JSON result. #### Top-level structure ```json { "metadata": { ... }, "passwords": [ ... ], "export": "optional" } ```` *** #### 🔹 `metadata` | Field | Description | | ----------- | ----------------------------- | | `preset` | Applied security preset | | `timestamp` | ISO-8601 run timestamp | | `count` | Number of passwords generated | *** #### 🔹 `passwords[]` Each entry represents one generated credential. | Field | Description | | ------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | | `id` | Sequential identifier | | `password` | Plaintext password (omitted in hash-only mode) | | `hash` | bcrypt or SHA-256 hash | | `entropy` | Calculated entropy score | | `strength` | Strength classification | | `rotateAfter` | Recommended rotation date | > 🔐 In **hash-only / vault-safe mode**, plaintext passwords are never returned. *** #### 🔹 `export` Optional CSV or TXT export content when requested. *** ### 📦 Data Storage - **Dataset**: One record per Actor run (structured JSON) - **Key-Value Store**: Optional, used only when integrations are enabled By default, no additional storage keys are created. *** ### 🔌 Optional Integrations (Enterprise & Automation) By default, this Actor is intentionally **minimal and secure**: - Results are returned via the **Apify Dataset** - No external systems are contacted - No data leaves Apify unless explicitly configured This keeps the Actor: - Secure by default - Easy to audit - Predictable to operate *** #### Available Optional Integrations The following integrations can be **enabled on demand** for automation or enterprise workflows: ##### 🔑 Key-Value Store Exports - Store outputs under named keys - Retrieve files directly via Apify API - Useful for: - Large CSV / TXT exports - Direct download links - Downstream automation ##### 🔔 Webhook Automation - Receive notifications when runs succeed or fail - Trigger CI/CD, provisioning, or vault ingestion workflows - Webhook payloads include run metadata and storage identifiers > 🔐 Passwords are **never sent directly in webhook payloads**. > Downstream systems must explicitly fetch data using Apify API credentials. *** #### Security-First Integration Design Optional integrations are **disabled by default** to minimize attack surface. When enabled: - Hash-only / vault-safe mode is strongly recommended - Plaintext output can be fully suppressed - No outbound data transfer occurs without explicit configuration This aligns with **zero-trust and compliance-first environments**. *** ### 💼 Enterprise & Paid Integrations Optional integrations are treated as **enterprise features**. They are intended for: - CI/CD pipelines - Identity & access management systems - Secrets managers - Regulated production environments Integration features may require: - Explicit enablement - Additional configuration - Enterprise pricing tier This ensures: - Predictable costs - Controlled usage - Dedicated support when required *** ### 💰 Pricing #### Pricing model **Pay per run** #### Price **$0.03 USD per run** One run can generate **hundreds or thousands of passwords**, making the effective cost per credential extremely low. *** #### Example costs | Usage | Runs | Cost | | ------------------------- | ---: | ----: | | Development testing | 10 | $0.30 | | Nightly CI/CD rotation | 30 | $0.90 | | HR onboarding (500 users) | 1 | $0.03 | *** ### 🔐 Security & Compliance Notes - Cryptographically secure randomness - No password persistence - No logging of secrets - Hash-only / vault-safe mode supported - Designed for auditability and automation ⚠️ This Actor **generates credentials** but **does not store or manage them long-term**. It is not a password manager. *** ### 🚫 What This Actor Does NOT Do - ❌ No live HTTP server - ❌ No streaming or long-running processes - ❌ No automatic vault writes - ❌ No password recovery These exclusions are intentional for security and predictability. *** ### ⚙️ Automation & CI/CD The Actor integrates cleanly with: - Apify API - Webhooks (optional) - GitHub Actions - CI/CD pipelines - Internal provisioning systems One API call = one run = predictable billing. *** ### 🧩 Versioning & Stability - Output fields are backward-compatible - New fields may be added - Breaking changes only occur in major versions *** ### 🏁 Summary > **Generate secure, policy-driven credentials at scale — safely, predictably, and affordably.** This Actor is ideal when you need: - Automation - Compliance - Strong defaults - Predictable costs # Actor input Schema ## `preset` (type: `string`): Predefined security profile that applies recommended settings automatically. ## `count` (type: `integer`): How many passwords should be generated in this run. ## `passwordLength` (type: `integer`): Length of each generated password in characters. ## `entropyEnabled` (type: `boolean`): Whether to calculate and include password entropy and strength classification. ## `hashingEnabled` (type: `boolean`): Generate hashed versions of passwords using the selected algorithm. ## `hashingAlgorithm` (type: `string`): Algorithm used to hash passwords when hashing is enabled. ## `hidePlaintext` (type: `boolean`): Exclude plaintext passwords from output and return hashes only. ## `rotationEnabled` (type: `boolean`): Include recommended password rotation dates in the output. ## `rotationDays` (type: `integer`): Number of days after which the password should be rotated. ## `exportFormat` (type: `string`): Optional export format for generated passwords. ## Actor input object example ```json { "preset": "enterprise", "count": 1, "passwordLength": 16, "entropyEnabled": true, "hashingEnabled": false, "hashingAlgorithm": "bcrypt", "hidePlaintext": false, "rotationEnabled": false, "rotationDays": 90, "exportFormat": "json" } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
