Secret Sauce 🌶️🔐

"Your passwords just got saucier!"
A context-aware, pronounceable password generator that blends personal memories with cryptographic security.

🚀 Features

🧠 Mnemonic-Based Security

• Generates passwords from personal cues (not stored anywhere)
• 3 security tiers (social/media → banking) with tailored questions
• Pronounceable combinations (e.g., T3sl@2024! instead of gH7#kLm2)

🔥 Secret Sauce Algorithm

Base: "Hiking" + "7" + "CA"
│ │ └─ Location abbreviation
│ └─ Lucky digit
└─ Hobby

Process:

1. Capitalize("hik") → "Hik"
2. Leet-speak vowels → "H1k"
3. Add separator → "H1k_"
4. Append salted hash → "H1k_7CA!9" 💻 Multiple Interfaces python

Library mode

from secret_sauce import generate_password print(generate_password({"hobby": "biking", "digit": "3"})) # "B1k!ng_7CA"

CLI mode
