FeatureRequest: additional delimiter between words #4
Comments
My goal was to generate passphrases that can be easily memorized. Inserting special characters makes the passphrases (or is it a password again?) harder to memorize. |
Alas, some services does not allow passwords without mixed set of characters. |
Why not use the spaces between? |
@sergeevabc I HATE services imposing password length or character restrictions on me. Unfortunately there are many out there. If needed by the service I add the wanted characters at the end of the password, just to make the UI shut about about it. |
In the code, I see that the delimiter is configured to be a space. In the discussion above, I see that you'd prefer not to add more configuration options because you feel there would be too many permutations. However, what about simplifying the requirement to a fixed default and one fixed alternate? For example: have a space as the default and a hyphen as the alternate. |
Come on. |
as mentioned in the official diceware docs it would be great of this plugin would support to delimit the words by a (random) character.
--- OFFICIAL DOCS ---
For extra security without adding another word, insert one special character or digit chosen at random into your passphrase. Here is how to do this securely: Roll one die to choose a word in your passphrase, roll again to choose a letter in that word. Roll a third and fourth time to pick the added character from the following table:
For the technically inclined, each word in your Diceware passphrase yields 12.9 bits of entropy, the way passphrase security is measured. A five word Diceware passphrase would have an entropy of at least 64.6 bits; six words would have 77.5 bits, seven words 90.4 bits, eight words 103.2 bits. Inserting a letter at random adds about 10 bits of entropy. All this assumes, of course, that you actually keep your passphrase a secret.
