How to use

There are 4 parameters:

• key ( = very_secret_key ) : used as key/seed for the algorithm
• T0 ( = 0 seconds ) : the inital steps from epoch unix stampstand
• X ( = 5 seconds ) : the time to live (TTL) of the password
• digits ( = 8 ) : the length of the password generated

To run the program use

cargo run

You'll receive in the terminal, the password generated based on your timestamp, with a progressbar under it showcasing the TTL.

Once the bar fills up, it will restarts with a new generated password.
