passph

Password pre-hasher.

passph provides an approach to keeping the level of password strength consistent, while not sacrificing memorability and eliminating the possibility of pattern detection in case passwords are compromised.

This tool may introduce other security risks if used incorrectly. (Use at your own risk!)

Systems with X (via xclip); Android; Windows; OSX

  • Optional: xclip for copying to the clipboard on systems with X.
  • Optional: SL4A Python for use on Android platform.

Usage

usage: passph [-h] [-c] [-p] [-u URL] [-i C] [-l LEN] [-A] [-e]
