This project demonstrates pure Go functionality as it does not use anything but the standard library. The purpose of entpassgen is to offer the ability to generate new passwords, but introduce the concept of entropy to the equation when generating new passwords. The package relies on crypto/rand to generate random numbers and uses rune, which makes it compatible with multiple languages, countries and use-cases.
You can either clone the repository, or install the package directory. This repository depends on:

Usage of entpassgen:
-E string
Define exclude symbols in new password
-L Do not use lowercase characters in new password
-N Do not use numbers in new password
-S Do not use symbols in new password
-U Do not use uppercase characters in new password
-W string
Separate words with these possible characters (default "!@#$%^&*()_+1234567890-=,.></?;:[]|")
-a Generate new passwords to get average entropy, min entropy and max entropy calculated for options
-e string
Minimum entropy value to accept in new password (default "avg")
-j JSON formatted output
-k int
Quantity of passwords to generate when calculating average entropy (default 100000)
-l int
Character length in new password (default -1)
-q int
Quantity of passwords to generate (default = 1) (default 1)
-s string
Define acceptable symbols in new password (default "!@#$%^&*()_+=-[]\\{}|;':,./<>?")
-t TEXT formatted output (default) (default true)
-w Use words (ignores -U -L -S -E -N -s)
