Generate XKCD inspired passwords

1.0 2016-11-13 20:06 UTC

Requires

• paragonie/random_compat: ^2.0

MIT

• Matt Allan

README

A password generator, inspired by XKCD.

Install

Via Composer

composer require yuloh/battery-staple

Usage

$password = Yuloh\BatteryStaple\PasswordGenerator::generate();
// returns something like "beefjapanesesealedunwrap"

Security

The library is 8 lines of code, so there isn't much that can go wrong. Here is what happens:

• A word list of 10,000 words is loaded.
• A random number is generated with random_int and the word on that line is used.
• Repeat the above until you have 4 words.

That being said, I am not a security expert. I cannot guarantee that this library is cryptographically secure and you shouldn't use it for anything important.

Contributing

Contributions Welcome. Some ideas:

• Allow choosing a delimiter
• Set min/max word length, so you don't get words like 'the'
• Case transformation options (using neko?)
