6});
7
8// 'uEyMTw32v9'
9console.log(password);

`generateMultiple(amount[, options])`

Bulk generate multiple passwords at once, with the same options for all. Returns an array.

1var generator = require('generate-password');
2
3var passwords = generator.generateMultiple(3, {
4	length: 10,
5	uppercase: false
6});
7
8// [ 'hnwulsekqn', 'qlioullgew', 'kosxwabgjv' ]
9console.log(passwords);

Available options

Any of these can be passed into the options object for each function.

Name	Description	Default Value

symbols*	Boolean or String, put symbols in password.	false

Using this with a browser

As browsers don't have the "require" method that Node.js does, this module doesn't work in web environments. Instead generate-password-browser can be used.
