Password Complicator

A Python-based CLI tool for generating a rather complicated password from some easy to remember text.

For example, passing myBestPasswordForGithub into the program with default configuration will retrieve DHrEJih+Vg1/. (Don't worry I'm not actually using this password.)

Due to hashing, you can just remember myBestPasswordFor and append service name in the password, limiting the scale of compromise when DHrEJih+Vg1/ is leaked by somebody.

Warning

This CLI tool will not talk to your system clipboard. It'll show the result directly on stdout.
