Password scrambler

Small utility to generate complicated passwords

Note:

This differs from upstream as follows:

• Uses scrypt instead of MD5, AES, and SHA-512.
• Removes changing character sets, length, and password hashing function.
• Generated password is 27 pronounceable characters as:
  • 1 uppercase
  • 1 digit
  • 3 hyphens
  • 22 lowercase

Benefits:

• You get more secure password- long, not from dictionary, etc I.E., 'caktoz-2evgun-Vuskar-ninzob'
  
• Yet, you don't have to remember 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 revert - it generates it by hashing function and you just need to copy it and login where you want
  
• Open source, written in python - nothing is hidden under the hood, everyone can review it before using and make custom changes in code
  

How it works:

$ ./passcrambler.py --help
usage: passcrambler.py [-h] --file FILE --login LOGIN [--clip]

Password scrambler

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --file FILE           File used to initialize generation
  --login LOGIN         Login for which you want to use the password
  --clip                Copy the generated password into the clipboard instead
                        of displaying

Example:

$ ./passcrambler.py --file MyPhoto.jpg --login hasherezade@hasherezade.net
Password: _password123_

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
