It implements the diceware method proposed by Arnold G. Reinhold, which produces passphrases that are both memorable and have high entropy. The tool supports multiple randomness sources (system random or real physical dice), includes wordlists in multiple languages, and allows customization of word count, capitalization, delimiters, and special character insertion.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies and installs as a pure Python wheel. It works as both a command-line utility and can be configured via a configuration file in your home directory. It supports Python 2.7 and modern Python 3 versions, and is actively maintained with recent releases.","worth_installing":"Yes. diceware is a lightweight, actively maintained tool with no dependencies, a permissive install profile, and clear security focus. The GPLv3+ copyleft license is straightforward for personal or open-source use. Install it if you need memorable, high-entropy passphrases for personal accounts or system administration; review the license if you plan to integrate it into proprietary software."},"id":"diceware","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/diceware","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/diceware.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/diceware/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-12-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"diceware","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Passphrases you will remember"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1536564,"position":3796,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.1"}
