Diceware Password Generator : Generate High Entropy Passwords

Diceware is a method used to generate cryptographically strong memorable passphrases. This is a python implementation of the diceware password generating algorithm. Inspired after watching this video.

Note : This Program Do Not Store Passwords In Any Form And All The Passwords Are Generated Locally Inside You Device.

How DPG Generate Passwords?

Traditional Diceware uses rolls of physical dice, this application uses a strong random number generator in place of the dice. A virtual dice is roled 5 times, and the 5 digit number used against a lookup table of words. 6 dice rolls gives you 6 random words which are easy for a human being to remember, yet have a high amount of entropy which makes them hard to crack.

WARNING : Using a computer to generate your passphrases is not as secure as rolling physical die with a paper reference of the diceware list.
