Description

Hi

Nice module however I can't seem to leave passphrase empty and configure the bits length -is that right?

Thanks Simon

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current API to see how bit length is handled when passphrase is empty. The issue suggests that the function does not accept a bit length unless a passphrase is provided. Look at the source code for the key generation function to understand the parameters and add support for optional bit length without passphrase.
