An OSX utility (SHELL script) for generating passwords out of real words containing within the location dictionary file /usr/share/dict/words.
Usage: genpass [OPTIONS] [WORD LENGTH (6)]
Options:
-h, --help Help as expected
-v, --version Display version info
-a, --about Useless info
-s, --stats Stats from word dictionary
By default genpass will generate a password consisting of words that contain 6 letters or less. Additionally, it generates passwords with the pattern:
[WORD][WORD][NUMBER][WORD][SPECIAL CHARACTER]
If you would like to change the pattern that is used when generating a password, modify the genpass script after you clone the repo at LINE 98:
TEMPPASS=$(random_word)$(random_word)$(random_number)$(random_word)$(random_character);
You can mix up the pattern and test what works to your liking.
Included is a very simple Makefile that provides two methods:
$ make install
$ make uninstall
