make_password

generate memorable and/or easily transcribable passwords including

1. xkcd horse battery correct staple style passwords
2. Interspersed passwords

Most of the time I'm satisfied with the random passwords generated and saved in keepass, but sometimes I need passwords I can manually re-enter easily if not necessarily remember.

run make_password -n x to change the # of words used (default to 5)

run make_password -a to add a random a random char followed by a random symbol as an extra word in a random position

ex:

make_password -n 3 -a

might return:

triumph syndicating 6@ sacrificial

alternatively you can use this to mix 2 phrases for an easily memorable password.

Of course it doesn't come up with the phrases but it saves from having to write out the results yourself.

Especially usefull for re-generating the actual password for cmdline entry(where you can't move left and right).

Running

make_password mixed 'a bee CD' 'Dog Party? 2017!'

results in aDobgeePaCrDty?2017!

If anyone has any other usefull password generation patterns I'd be willing to add them.
