Hmmm - upon looking at tests/test_horizons2plot.py and the example object used there ("C/2013 S1") I see that the existing code works for that case, and my fixhorizons branch doesn't. So...

Thanks, @gustavvk! This needs to be updated in the documentation (e.g. the README.md here), or the same module name needs to be used in both version. An alternate form of...

This is already at version >= 1.15.2.

Resistance to brute-force attacks is paramount to most anyone's password security these days. The underlying math is the same for a password hasher and a password generator, and the attacking...

Good info - thanks! Going to 12 characters does help prevent brute-forcing of the generated password, in the normal case where the attacker isn't trying to crack the underlying sgp...

@scottchiefbaker I agree that bcrypt would be significantly better. I also forgot that there has actually been a [Password Hashing Competition](https://password-hashing.net/), which ended last year and selected [Argon2](https://github.com/p-h-c/phc-winner-argon2) as the...

Thanks folks. I'm sorry I've added to some confusion by bringing up the default 10-character length for generated passwords, which leads to discussion of cracking a web site database conventionally....

It seems to me that it all depends on the master password. Since "_ordinary desktop computers can test over a hundred million passwords per second using password cracking tools running...

Is this fixed upstream now? I can't reproduce it. Using Ubuntu 20.04, Python 3.8.10, Pew 1.2.0, I do ```python pew mktmpenv python imp ``` and it autocompletes to `import `

Ahh - thanks for pointing out at the byte and Unicode objects have the same hash. Using the technique at [How to memory dump an object?](https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2016-May/859627.html) it is indeed clear...
