Hand-crafting strong passwords is tedious and error-prone, reusing one across services is a well-known security risk, and online password tools often depend on external servers, raising legitimate privacy concerns. dsh-password brings a full password toolkit directly into your local DSH session, relying solely on the built-in crypto module in Node.js for cryptographically secure randomness, with zero network calls and zero external dependencies.

The plugin exposes two core tools. generate_password produces a strong random password in a single call, eliminating the guesswork of manual composition. password_strength scores an existing password, calculates its information entropy, and returns concrete improvement suggestions such as increasing length or adding symbol variety. All computation runs locally; no password data is ever written to disk or sent over the network.

It is well suited for DevOps engineers, security practitioners, and any developer who frequently generates or evaluates passwords during configuration management and service deployment. The codebase is small, MIT-licensed, and easy to audit before integration.
