Defaults

If you run pwgen without a --length option it will determine the length based on the available charsets to get to at least 256 bits of entropy. The less different characters that are available through those charsets, the longer the resulting password will get.

Without charset flags (-a, -A, -n, or -s) present, it uses all possible charsets.

Examples

pwgen

Length defaults to 40, because 91 distinct chars are available.
