papass 0.0.2

A simple library to generate passphrases.

papass

This is a work in progress

papass generates passphrases following the diceware approach as proposed by Arnold G. Reinhold.

Usage

Assuming you have a wordlist file wordlist.txt you can run the following command to generate a random list of five words:

$ papass -c 5 -w /path/to/wordlist.txt
Phrase: anthem hamstring transport doorbell circle
Entropy: 64.62406251802891

By default this uses the system's most secure random number generator. To use physical dice add -r dice.

You can download a wordlist designed for passphrases from the EFF. You might need to remove the dice numbers, that is, change a line like this

11114     abide

into

abide

Development

$ pip install -r requirements.txt .[dev]
