A Diceware-style Password Generator

Project description

Keysmith randomly chooses words from a list and concatenates them. With a sufficiently large list, these make decent passphrases that tend to be more memorable than other random passwords. The concept is essentially the same as (and arguably simpler than) Diceware.

PyPI Version

Installation

Keysmith is available on PyPI.

pip install keysmith

Usage

Keysmith can be run as a command-line utility.

keysmith --help

Keysmith can also be imported into other Python projects.

import string
import keysmith
print(keysmith.Key(seq=string.letters, nteeth=12, delimiter=''))

Pro Tip

Use Keysmith with KeePass and Yubikey!
