pwdgen

If you're like me you have many accounts scattered across the internet that need logins. Current advice seems to be to use unique passwords for every account.

Managing lots of passwords, while not always easy, is only half the problem and there exist many tools to assist in doing so. This project attempts to address the other half of the problem: coming up with the passwords.

Don't blame me if you get a password you consider offensive. The are just too many possibilities to even attempt to filter themout.
