Description

This is a password generator written in go, it's a http service which returns a randomly generated password, based on parameters passed in the request (in the format as described in the table below). It's definitely not a high quality piece of code, but I haven't written anything in go in a long time and wanted to write something creative. The most interesting part in my opinion is generating passwords which should be generally similar to actual user generated passwords, which is available under userReadable param. It probably shouldn't be a part of any password generator, as it uses leaked passwords to generate similar ones with markov chain, but it was fun to add in, so I've done it.
