Diceware Password Generator - Generate High Entropy Passwords

Please Note - This Program Do Not Store Passwords In Any Form And All The Passwords Are Generated Locally Inside You Device.

Diceware is a method used to generate cryptographically strong memorable passphrases. This is a python implementation of the diceware password generating algorithm. Inspired after watching this video.

How DPG Generate Passwords?

Traditional Diceware uses rolls of physical dice, this application uses a strong random number generator in place of the dice. A virtual dice is roled 5 times, and the 5 digit number used against a lookup table of words. 6 dice rolls gives you 6 random words which are easy for a human being to remember, yet have a high amount of entropy which makes them hard to crack.

WARNING : Using a computer to generate your passphrases is not as secure as rolling physical die with a paper reference of the diceware list.

diceware-password-generator's Issues

Small things (grammar)

dpg.py:

How many word do you want... should be How many words do you want....

The word Zero should be zero. You could also write it as zero (0) for emphasis.

Syntax Error when executing the dpg.py

When I try to run the dpg.py file via the Linux command line, it gives me a syntax error "File "dpg.py", line 47
print(i, end=' ')"
^

Any idea how to solve this?
Thanks
