Dicepass

Dicepass is a simple passphrase generator using the Diceware method written in Nim

By default the EFF large word list is used, but the Diceware list may also be selected if shorter words are desired.

Usage

Invoking dicepass with no options will simply generate a seven word passphrase using the EFF long word list. This assumes that the required word list has already been downloaded to ~.dicepass. If not a helpful message will tell so and what to do:

Unable to open ~/.dicepass/eff_large_wordlist.txt
You may need to fetch it with the --fetch option

The command options are as follows:

• -w=WORDS, --words=WORDS

  How many words to generate (default 7).

• -e, --eff

  Use the EFF word list (default).

• -d, --diceware

  Use the Diceware word list.

• -l=LIST, --list=LIST

  Specify the filename of a list to use.

• -f, --fetch

  Fetch the required list. This only works for the EFF or Diceware lists.

• --clean

  Delete any downloaded lists, along with the .dicepass directory.

• -h, --help

  Display a help message and exit.

• -v, --version

  Display the version number and exit.
