Meaningful passwords

This tool generates passwords based on the meanings of a list of words using word vectors

This blogpost explains more about how it works.

Quickstart

Install dependencies and generate your first password, using the default dictionary

$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python password_generator.py

Generating multiple passwords

To create multiple passwords use

$ python password_generator.py -p 10

Advanced usage

Creating a custom dictionary

How it works

In the file context.json there are a couple of lists:

• Each word in wordlist is combined with the words in similar and negative. This creates an offset in the meaning of the generated words.
• Then for each word in wordlist a given amount of similar words is found. This can be specified with the -a argument

So each found 'synonym' will have an offset in meaning closer to similar and further from negative. This means that the words in similar and negative influence every entry of your dictionary.

The default dictionary is generated with 200 'synonyms' per word.

Let's generate the dictionary!

Adjust context.json to your liking, you will probably have to tune it a couple of times.

For testing purposes you can use a smaller dictionary and model and print 10 passwords:

$ python password_generator.py -g -a 30 -l 3 -h 10 -m glove-wiki-gigaword-50 -p 10

This should take around 20 seconds

When your passwords are starting to look nice, generate a larger dictionary with

$ python password_generator.py -g

Replace '10' with the desired amount of passwords

Other options

To see all available options and their meanings run:

$ python password_generator.py -h
