🔐 passphrase

passphrase is a command-line tool for generating strong six-word Diceware passphrases using EFF's long wordlist.

In short, passphrases are generated by "throwing" five dice, joining the numbers into one, then looking up the word with the corresponding number in the wordlist, and repeating this process until six words are found. See more information about the technique here.

Instead of generating strings consisting of random numbers, letters, and symbols, passphrase produces passphrases such as whinny daffodil aerobics upheld bankable niece which are easier to memorize while still extremely hard to guess by brute force.

Under the hood, passphrase uses rio as a prelude replacement and Cryptonite for generating random numbers.
