/*
	BitBar plugin help: https:github.com/matryer/bitbar

	Plugin updated 22/6/20

	Version history
		1.0	- also now generates a single obscure password (i.e. one that doesn't contain words)
			- length of obscure password user definable
			- changed format element "p" to "s" (coz they're symbols more than punctuation)
			- option to select subset of symbols
			- Dark Mode compatible menubar icon
		0.1	- initial release

	Credits
		- plugin inspired by a Mac app called Arcana by Tekuris
		- thanks to Christian S for v1.0 improvement suggestions
