This is a passphrase generator which generates passphrase based on an algorithm inspired by xkcd #936.
Requires python ≥ 3.6.
usage: pwgen.py [-h] [-c C] [-w W] [-e] file
Passphrase generator à la xkcd (https://www.xkcd.com/936/)
positional arguments:
file path to wordlist
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c C passphrase length in characters
-w W passphrase length in words
-e print password to STDERR in addition to STDOUT
If both -c and -w are specified, -w is used. If neither are supplied then a 32
character long passphrase (i.e. -c 32) is created.
I use it with the EFF wordlist. The -e argument is useful for doing
pwgen.py eff_large_wordlist.txt | pbcopy.
