    - Password Length: 16

    - Password Entropy: 95.3 bits

    - Password Strength: Strong

    - Estimated time to crack using a supercomputer with roughly

    one trillion guesses per second: 687 433 358 years

Generate a pt-br passphrase and show information about it::

    $ randpw -p -i pt-br -v

`EFF's long word list `_ is used for generating the english passphrase.

Brazilian Portuguese passphrase is generated using a pt-br wordlist curated by me using the

most frequent spoken words, removing accented and words bigger than 9 and smaller than 4 characters.
