WordPass

========

Dictionary-based password generator.

Script reads dict word lists and generates word-based passwords.

Uses dictionaries from /usr/share/dict by default.

Inspired by [xkcd comic](http://xkcd.com/936/).

Program also prints how many words have been read, and indicates estimated

password space size in bits.

Using just four words from default English dictionary of ~50k words will

give approximately 90 bits of entropy. Lucky speakers of languages with

rich inflection like Polish (over 3 million word variants) can easily up

this to over 110 bits of entropy.
