password-suggestor

Long, simple, easy-to-remember passphrases > short, complex, difficult-to-remember passwords. Like xkcd has said it here.

Example : boat-plant-lift-trick is better to remember than [>oh187no;'0+.

Note : If quantum computers have been established commercially, this tool is obsolete!⛔

Note : Passwords are not saved anywhere, the entire code runs in the browser. Turn off the internet connection before trying it out!✌️

Usage

• The generated suggestions are made of 4 words separated by a separator.

  • Two words are entered by the user.
  • The third word is chosen at random from the list.
  • Fourth word is an abbreviated form of a proverb chosen by the user.

• Suggested passwords include trivial substitutions to characters (a becomes @, s becomes $). Although trivial substitutions do not make a password actually stronger, it helps when websites required a combination of Upper case, lower case, special characters and number. Three passwords are suggested to satisfy the website requirements for password complexity.

• Example :

  • word 1 - hello
  • word 2 - world
  • word 3 - item (chosen at random from the list)
  • word 4 - npng (derived from no pain, no gain)
  • Suggestions :
    • hello-npng-world-item
    • heLlo-npng-world-item
    • heLlo-npng-world-it3m
