pwgen-passphrase
================
Secure wordlist-based passphrase generator
Description
-----------
Use ``pwgen-passphrase`` to generate secure (yet easy to remember) random passphrase from wordlist.
See legendary `xkcd: Password Strength `_ comic strip for more details ;-)
Included wordlists are:
- `diceware `_ (English: 7776 words)
- `eff-long `_ (English: 7776 words)
- `eff-short `_ (English: 1296 words)
- `eff-short2 `_ (English: 1296 words)
- `bip0039 `_ (English: 2048 words)
- `skey `_ (English: 2048 words)
- `cracklib-small `_ (English: 52875 words)
- `aspell-en `_ (English: 123232 words)
- `aspell-cs `_ (Czech: 304607 words)
Requirements
------------
- `Python 3 `_
- Optional: `PyQt `_
(for copying generated passphrase to clipboard)
- Optional: `regex `_
(for better regex filtering, e.g. ``^[\p{Ll}]+`` for Unicode lower-case letters only)
Usage
-----
Run ``pwgen-passphrase --help`` to see all available options.
Example::
[[email protected] ~] pwgen-passphrase -w cracklib-small -l 4 -t
correct horse battery staple
Statistics:
===========
Number of words in passphrase: 4
Wordlist length: 52875 words
Passphrase strength (entropy): 62.8 bits
Passphrase length: 28 chars
Length of equivalent case sensitive alphanumeric password: 11 chars
Length of equivalent all ASCII printable characters password: 10 chars
Help
----
::
usage: pwgen-passphrase [-h] [-t] [-c] [-s SEPARATOR] [-n COUNT]
[-w {aspell-cs,aspell-en,bip0039,cracklib-small,diceware,eff-long,eff-short,eff-short2,skey} | -f WORDLIST_FILE]
[-l LENGTH | -b BITS] [-L | -U | -C] [--min MIN]
[--max MAX] [-r] [-e REGEX] [--version]
generate secure random passphrase from wordlist
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-t, --stats show statistics about generated passphrase
-c, --clipboard copy generated passphrase to clipboard (needs PyQt)
-s SEPARATOR, --separator SEPARATOR
words separator (default is space)
-n COUNT, --count COUNT
generate multiple passphrases (default is 1)
-w {aspell-cs,aspell-en,bip0039,cracklib-small,diceware,eff-long,eff-short,eff-short2,skey}, --wordlist {aspell-cs,aspell-en,bip0039,cracklib-small,diceware,eff-long,eff-short,eff-short2,skey}
select wordlist (default is eff-long)
-f WORDLIST_FILE, --wordlist-file WORDLIST_FILE
path to external wordlist file
-l LENGTH, --length LENGTH
length of generated passphrase (number of words,
default is 6)
-b BITS, --bits BITS minimal passphrase strength (bits of entropy)
-L, --lower make words lowercase
-U, --upper make words uppercase
-C, --capitalize make words capitalized
--min MIN limit minimum length of word (default is unlimited)
--max MAX limit maximum length of word (default is unlimited)
-r, --transliterate transliterate Unicode characters to ASCII and remove
duplicates
-e REGEX, --regex REGEX
remove words that do not match regular expression
--version show program's version number and exit
