# xkcdpass - XKCD Style Password Generator
[![Crates.io][crates-io-badge]][crates-io]
[![CircleCI][circle-ci-badge]][circle-ci]
Generate passwords made up by four (or any other number of) random words from a
word list (7776 common English words).
With the default of 4 words, there are 7776^4 = 3656158440062976 possible word
combinations, which corresponds to about 51 bits of entropy. When using 6
words, the entropy is increased to about 77 bit.
