psswrd
Simple script with a GUI that generates pronounceable passwords and places them on the clipboard.
Description
I always have to make passwords and answer security questions.
This script makes it easy to create random text strings and paste them into forms.
Installation
Install psswrd as follows:
pip install psswrd

Usage
Use psswrd as follows:

Start the GUI.
A random password will appear in the Password field. It will also be copied onto the clipboard.
If you like the password, press Done and psswrd will close.
If you don't like the password, press Again and another password will appear and be copied onto the clipboard.
If there are restrictions on allowable passwords, you can specify a format in the Template field using the following characters:

l stands for a random lowercase letter from a-z.
u stands for a random uppercase letter from A-Z.
m stands for a random mixed-case letter from A-Za-z.
d stands for a random digit from 0-9.
p stands for a random punctuation character from !@#$%&*+-=?;.
Any other character is copied directly into the password.



FAQ
Why do you say the passwords are pronounceable?
The letters A-Z are randomly selected such that they follow a probability distribution based on trigrams
extracted from a corpus of text. So the strings of letters kind of look like words and are often
pronounceable although it's not guaranteed.
What text is used for the corpus?
The probability distribution of letter trigrams was generated from the text of the short story "Day of the Comet" found on Project Gutenberg.
