pwgen
Another of those passphrase generators
The functionality is heavily inspired by HSXKPasswd, but it didn't quite have the functionality I wanted (random capitalization) and I wanted a python module for a possible future uwsgi webapp...
Why
Because Randall Munroe says so.
Requirements
Python 3 as well as my-/hunspell-dictionaries for the language(s) you want to use.
What
A password/passphrase generator. See below for some example usage.
$ sudo python3 setup.py install
...
$ pwgen --help
usage: pwgen [-h] [--quiet] [--generate-config] [--config-file CONFIG_FILE] [--myspell-dir MYSPELL_DIR] [--encoding ENCODING]
[--unmunch-bin UNMUNCH_BIN] [--lang LANG] [--word-min-char WORD_MIN_CHAR] [--word-max-char WORD_MAX_CHAR] [--words WORDS]
[--capitalize {true,false,random}] [--separators SEPARATORS] [--trailing-digits TRAILING_DIGITS]
[--leading-digits LEADING_DIGITS] [--special-chars SPECIAL_CHARS] [--trailing-chars TRAILING_CHARS]
[--leading-chars LEADING_CHARS] [--passwords PASSWORDS] [--max-length MAX_LENGTH]
Generate passwords
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--quiet, -q Only echo the generated passwords.
--generate-config, -g
Generate configuration file and then exit
--config-file CONFIG_FILE, -c CONFIG_FILE
Configuration file to use
--myspell-dir MYSPELL_DIR, -i MYSPELL_DIR
Directory containing myspell dictionaries
--encoding ENCODING, -e ENCODING
Character encoding of the directory
--unmunch-bin UNMUNCH_BIN, -u UNMUNCH_BIN
Path to my/hunspell unmunch binary
--lang LANG, -l LANG Dictionary language to use
--word-min-char WORD_MIN_CHAR, -m WORD_MIN_CHAR
Minimum number of characters in a word
--word-max-char WORD_MAX_CHAR, -M WORD_MAX_CHAR
Maximum number of characters in a word
--words WORDS, -w WORDS
Number of words to use in the passphrase
--capitalize {true,false,random}, -C {true,false,random}
Capitalize the words
--separators SEPARATORS, -s SEPARATORS
Possible characters to use as separators
--trailing-digits TRAILING_DIGITS, -d TRAILING_DIGITS
Number of digits at the end of the passphrase
--leading-digits LEADING_DIGITS, -D LEADING_DIGITS
Number of digits at the start of the passphrase
--special-chars SPECIAL_CHARS, -S SPECIAL_CHARS
Possible characters to use as extra special characters
--trailing-chars TRAILING_CHARS, -p TRAILING_CHARS
Number of special characters to add at the end of the passphrase
--leading-chars LEADING_CHARS, -P LEADING_CHARS
Number of special characters to add at the start of the passphrase
--passwords PASSWORDS, -n PASSWORDS
Number of passwords to generate
--max-length MAX_LENGTH, -L MAX_LENGTH
Maximum length of the generated passwords. Full-knowledge entropy calculation doesn't work when this is set.
$ pwgen -g --myspell-dir /usr/share/hunspell --lang sv_SE
Missing configuration file; generating a new at /home/user/.pwgen.cfg
Updating configuration file at /home/user/.pwgen.cfg
$ pwgen
Generated 5 passwords
Full-knowledge entropy is 82
