Command line application for generating passphrases
Readable Passphrase Generator is a handy and reliable utility designed to generate passphrases that are grammatically correct but nonsensical.
These are easy to remember (for humans) but difficult to guess (for humans and computers).
Why use it?Because you can make passphrases which are as strong as traditional "strong" passwords (8 letters long, upper, lower, numbers, etc) which you can memorise in 5 minutes instead of 5 days. (And its fun to read the phrases it generates!)
Some examples passphrases:
· Normal strength: a wound rebuffs an incline
· Strong strength: the statesman will burgle amidst lucid sunlamps
· Insane strength: plaid foresails repel ashamedly upon the birdbath
