generate memorable and/or easily transcribable passwords including
- xkcd horse battery correct staple style passwords
- Interspersed passwords
Most of the time I'm satisfied with the random passwords generated and saved in keepass, but sometimes I need passwords I can manually re-enter easily if not necessarily remember.
run make_password -n x to change the # of words used (default to 5)
run make_password -a to add a random a random char followed by a random symbol as an extra word in a random position
ex:
make_password -n 3 -a
might return:
triumph syndicating 6@ sacrificial
alternatively you can use this to mix 2 phrases for an easily memorable password.
Of course it doesn't come up with the phrases but it saves from having to write out the results yourself.
Especially usefull for re-generating the actual password for cmdline entry(where you can't move left and right).
Running
make_password mixed 'a bee CD' 'Dog Party? 2017!'
results in aDobgeePaCrDty?2017!
If anyone has any other usefull password generation patterns I'd be willing to add them.
