This password generator was inspired by this comic of Randall Munroe: https://xkcd.com/936/.
It is cryptographically secure if the machine you are using it on is secure.
easypassword [OPTIONS] seperator1 seperator2
To make the passwords more secure two seperators are choosen.
These seperators will alternate after every word. One seperator should be a special character and the other seperator should be a number. You can choose which one is which.
If you want to use your own word list file you can do so through the option -i or --input.
Each line of the file should be a single word or an open compound word.
easypassword -i file seperator1 seperator2

The 12dicts lists were compiled by Alan Beale. I explicitly release them to the public domain, but request acknowledgment of their use. (Actually, the dependency of the 2of12inf list and the 2+2+3 lists on AGID prevents their release into the public domain. However, I do not impose any additional requirements on their use beyond those imposed by AGID and its sources, as described in agid.txt.)
