IronKey

IronKey is a Terminal User Interface (TUI) based password generator written in Rust. It leverages the power of Rust's performance and safety features to provide a fast and secure way to generate passwords.

Features

• TUI Interface: IronKey uses a text-based user interface, making it lightweight and easy to use directly from the terminal.

• Customizable Password Generation: IronKey generates passwords based on user-selected options. You can choose the length and the types of characters to include in the password.

• Password Saving: IronKey saves the generated password to a file in the user's home directory for future reference.

Exporting Passwords: After generating a password, you can export your password history to a file in either JSON or CSV format. This option is presented in the second screen after generating a password.

Clipboard Support: You can copy the generated password directly to your clipboard by pressing Ctrl+C in the second screen, making it easy to use your new password immediately.
