That makes it a great little Go project for learning a few useful concepts at once: building a CLI with flag structuring a small Go codebase using Argon2id understanding deterministic derivation versus random generation shaping output with validation and character groups The idea Instead of generating a brand-new password on every run, the CLI derives a reproducible one from two inputs: a master password a label So this: go run . -master = "MyUltraSecret" -label = "github" -length = 20 Will always return the same password as long as the inputs and options stay the same.
