ENH: Add CLI options to control password character types (digits, specials, uppercase) #4

Description

@jay-ponce

Summary

The password generator currently includes all printable characters by default. To give users more control and meet specific security policies, the CLI should support flags to include or exclude certain character types.

Planned Options

  • --pass-include-digits / --pass-exclude-digits
  • --pass-include-specials / --pass-exclude-specials
  • --pass-include-uppercase / --pass-exclude-uppercase

Expected Behavior

Users should be able to customize the composition of their generated passwords using combinations of these flags.

Benefits

  • Greater flexibility and customization
  • Allows compliance with password complexity rules from organizations or systems
  • Reduces need for manual post-processing

Priority

Medium — not critical, but significantly enhances functionality.
