## pass generate-phrase

a passphrase generator for pass

## installation

basically, as described here: https://www.passwordstore.org/#extensions

##### for a user installation that should be 

    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/puhoy/pass-generate-phrase/master/generate-phrase/generate-phrase.bash -P ~/.password-store/.extensions/

    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/puhoy/pass-generate-phrase/master/generate-phrase/eff_large_wordlist.txt -P ~/.password-store/.extensions/

    # and make the script executable

    chmod +x ~/.password-store/.extensions/generate-phrase.bash

and set `PASSWORD_STORE_ENABLE_EXTENSIONS` environment variable to true

##### and for a system wide installation

put `generate-phrase.bash` and `eff_large_wordlist.txt` in `/usr/lib/password-store/extensions` (or whatever that is for your distribution)

and make the script executable:

`/usr/lib/password-store/extensions/generate-phrase.bash`

(no need to set the environment var)

## usage

    pass generate-phrase

        [--wordcount,-w wordcount] 

        [--wordlist,-l wordlist]

        [--separator,-s separator] 

        [--randomupper,-u] 

        [--clip,-c]

        [--qrcode,-q]

        [--in-place,-i | --force,-f]

        pass-name

        generate a passphrase with WORDCOUNT (or 4) words,

        made from words in WORDLIST* (or the EFFs long wordlist**),

        separated by SEPARATOR (or "-")

        * a diceware list, each line like "11111 banana"

        **https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/07/new-wordlists-random-passphrases

#### options

`--wordcount, -w N`

generate N words (default 4)

`--wordlist, -l /path/to/list`

use file under /path/to/list instead of included wordlist 

(default the [EFFs long wordlist](https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/07/new-wordlists-random-passphrases)) 

`--separator, -s SEPARATOR` 

use SEPARATOR to separate the words (default "-")

`--randomupper,-u`

randomly uppercase words

...for example

    $ pass generate-phrase my/new/testpassword

    mkdir: created directory '/home/USER/.password-store/my'

    mkdir: created directory '/home/USER/.password-store/my/new'

    [master 045a5d5] Add generated password for my/new/testpassword.

     1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

     create mode 100644 my/new/testpassword.gpg

    $ pass generate-phrase my/new/testpassword --separator="+" --wordcount 8 --wordlist diceware_german.txt --randomupper

    An entry already exists for my/new/testpassword. Overwrite it? [y/N] y
