This Secure Password Generator is a Python-based CLI tool designed to create strong 🏋️‍♂️ and customizable passwords using words from the English dictionary 📚. It allows users to specify various parameters such as word length, the number of words, and separators to generate passwords that meet diverse security requirements.

• Generates passwords composed of English dictionary words.
• Configurable word length, number of words, padding symbols, and separators.
• Option to load configuration from a config.py file or input parameters through CLI.
• Organizes words by length for efficient password generation.

To set up the Secure Password Generator, clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/StanleyAlbayeros/xkcdpass
cd secure-password-generator

Ensure you have Python 3.x installed on your system. No additional external libraries are required as the script uses standard Python libraries.

To run the password generator, navigate to the repository directory and execute:

python main.py

You will be prompted to choose whether to load settings from config.py. Respond with Y to use predefined settings or N to input parameters manually.

• num_words: Number of words in the password.
• padding_symbol: Symbol used for padding at the beginning and end.
• separator: Symbol used to separate words in the password.
• num_passwords: Number of passwords to generate.
• start_case: Case of the first word (lower or upper); subsequent words will alternate.
• word_length: Length of each word in the password.

These parameters can be defined in config.py for quick setup or inputted manually when prompted.
