Password scrambler

Small utility to generate complicated passwords.

Benefits

You get more secure password- long, not from dictionary, etc i.e 'txork9Zfa8yXc_lMbb1LCHPZIH7wE1'
Yet, you don't have to remeber it - you must remember only your easy password and document that you used as a generation base
You may reuse the easy password and the base file - still, for different login@domain you will get a totally new long password
It is not saving your complicated password anywhere, so nobody can steal it and decrypt - it generates it by hasing function and you just need to copy it and login where you want
Open source, written in rust - nothing is hidden under the hood, everyone can review it before using and make custom changes in code

How it works

Password scrambler will generate the same passwords on content of base file and master password.

You can specify password length, file and symbols on alias:

alias passcrambler=passcrambler -f ~/.file -L 20 -s '_$'

All files should be generate with the same options. This needed only for remmembering.

Typical scenario

I need to generate a new password i.e. for my e-mail
I have to prepare 2 things : an easy password, that I will remember and some document, that I have to keep safe without changes
I deploy password scrambler giving as an input my login and a document
I am prompted for the easy password, so I type it
I copy generated password and change it in my e-mail service
Wherever I need to re-login I just deploy scrambler with same parameters, and it will regenerate the same hash
