# genpass
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This plugin provides three unique password generators for ZSH. Each generator
|
||
|
|
has at least a 128-bit security margin and generates passwords from the
|
||
|
|
cryptographically secure `/dev/urandom`. Each generator can also take an
|
||
|
|
optional numeric argument to generate multiple passwords.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use it from an interactive ZSH, add `genpass` to the plugins array in your
|
||
|
|
zshrc file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
plugins=(... genpass)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also invoke password generators directly (they are implemented as
|
||
|
|
standalone executable files), which can be handy when you need to generate
|
||
|
|
passwords in a script:

|

|
|
## genpass-apple
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Generates a pronounceable pseudoword passphrase of the "cvccvc" consonant/vowel
|
||
|
|
syntax, inspired by [Apple's iCloud Keychain password generator][1]. Each
|
||
|
|
password has exactly 1 digit placed at the edge of a "word" and exactly 1
|
||
|
|
capital letter to satisfy most password security requirements.

## genpass-xkcd
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Generates passphrases from `/usr/share/dict/words` inspired by the [famous (and
|
||
|
|
slightly misleading) XKCD comic][3]. Each passphrase is prepended with a digit
|
||
|
|
showing the number of words in the passphrase to adhere to password security
|
||
|
|
requirements that require digits. Each word is 6 characters or less.
