README
Xecrets Words - a library and sample app to produce rememberable and pronounceable strong passwords C# for .NET 8+
Command Line Arguments
The library is intended to be used as a nuget package in your own code, but there is a sample application that can be used from the command line. The sample application does not take any arguments, and the output is written to the console and files are written in the current directory.
REST API
There's also a sample Azure Functions REST API, using the library to generate passwords and words.
