Security Summary

CodeQL identified one alert about printing passwords to stdout (line 123). This is a false positive for this use case - the entire purpose of this password generator tool is to output generated passwords to the user via stdout. This is the intended and expected behavior.

Implementation Summary

Created a simple but strong password generator with:

  • Cryptographically secure: Uses Python's secrets module
  • Flexible CLI: Customizable length, character types, and batch generation
  • Well-tested: 12 unit tests covering all scenarios
  • Well-documented: Comprehensive README with examples
  • Input validated: Proper error handling for invalid inputs
