passiword

Bash script (and optional GUI for non-technicals) to quickly generate a random, human memorable passphrase.

The script is meant to be just a random word generator based on a predefined list of words. The idea is that what you later do with the words is up to you (e.g if you want to add special characters or capitalise them).

Installation

Simply clone it to your desired location (e.g /opt/). Make sure it has execute permissions.

GUI

If you want to allow less technical users to get a random passphrase generated by using the GUI, use the passiword.desktop to quickly call passiword and notify user of their new passphrase (which they can copy and use as needed).

Copy passiword.desktop to /usr/share/applications (ensure permissions are OK). Test with gtk-launch /usr/share/applications/passiword.desktop

Nice to have:

  • Generate (and distribute) X number of special characters and/or numbers
