Note: The two setters are independent of each other so don't need to be in order Note 2: Since the javascript version utilizes static getters, you can simply use (as an example to see the character sets used in the generator) PasswordGen.CHARACTERSETS in order to see what the properties of the class are. You can also use PasswordGen.arrayKeySearch(needles, haystack) and PasswordGen.randomInteger(min, max), _(*6)
