Random password and passphrase generator.
A Python version is also available.
Simple password example:
$ randpw mo8h9IthztoCwypN
Simple passphrase example:
$ randpw -p angelfish pantyhose gas debug existing trimester
EFF's long word list is used for generating the passphrase.
Using nimble:
$ nimble install randpw
Using nim compiler:
Since only the standard library is used, just download the single source code file and compile it:
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pdrb/nim-randpw/master/src/randpw.nim $ nim c -d:release randpw.nim
For generating passphrase the wordlist must be downloaded on the binary dir:
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pdrb/nim-randpw/master/src/wordlist.txt
