Detailed Description

The rules a generated password follows.

The defaults are a 12 to 16 character password with a lower case letter, an upper case letter, a digit and a symbol in it. The human style builds the password the way people do (see doc/data.md) and then bends it to these rules, as a sign-up form would: it drops a character the rules do not allow, adds the digit or the symbol that is missing and pads a short one, so with the default rules few passwords stay as plain as dragon123. Loosen the rules (for example {.min_length = 6, .max_length = 20, .require_each = false}) for a mix closer to the common-password lists.
