Generated a password without numbers in them even if specified #19

Used this as option: let passwordOptions = { length: 15, numbers: true, symbols: true }; and called "generator.generate(passwordOptions);"

It generated this password which does not have a number in it.

Generated Password: "q?xfnIaTdWlM?fD"

@suppagoddo just passing the numbers flag allows numbers to be present in the password, it doesn't require them. To require at least one number to be present, you need to set the strict flag:

strict: Boolean, password must include at least one character from each pool.

Like so:

let passwordOptions = {
  length: 15,
  numbers: true,
  symbols: true,
  strict: true
};

generator.generate(passwordOptions);
