It ships with multiple built-in word lists (EFF-long, EFF-short, and variants in Spanish, Finnish, Italian, German, Norwegian, French, Portuguese, and Swedish) and supports custom word files. The tool is designed to produce memorable yet cryptographically strong passwords suitable for diceware-style passphrase generation.\n\nThe package offers fine-grained control over passphrase generation: you can specify word count, minimum and maximum word length, delimiter characters, case transformation rules (lower, upper, alternating, random, capitalize, as-is), and acrostic constraints to force the first letters to spell a chosen word. It runs as a standalone CLI with no external runtime dependencies, making it lightweight and easy to integrate into scripts or password workflows.","worth_installing":"Yes. xkcdpass is a stable, dependency-free tool for generating strong passphrases with no security vulnerabilities on record. It is well-suited for anyone who prefers memorable multi-word passwords over random character strings. The aging maintenance status (215 days since last release) is not a blocker for a mature utility with no active bugs, but verify whether the project's pace aligns with your support expectations."},"id":"xkcdpass","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/xkcdpass","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/xkcdpass.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/xkcdpass/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-01-11","license_spdx":"BSD-3-Clause","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"xkcdpass","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Generate secure multiword passwords/passphrases, inspired by XKCD"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":294262,"position":7949,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.30.0"}
