# pwgen
|
|
Another of those passphrase generators
|
|
|
|
The functionality is heavily inspired by [HSXKPasswd](https://github.com/bbusschots/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.

|
