No more garbled text, ezPass creates strong passwords about stuff you like.
ezPass grabs words from a Wikipedia page of your chosing, and combines them creating a long, easy to remember password.
The inspiration comes from XKCD #936... yeah, I know, there are lots and lots of password generators inspired by this comic, but bear with me: most of them use dictionaries with the most common english words, making bruteforcing really easy. On the other hand ezPass uses the greatest container of human knowledge in the world as its source, allowing not only way more variety but you can choose the topic of your password. Neat, huh?
For now, only english is supported. I might add Italian support at some point. If you want to add support for more languages, just submit a pull request.
For a character-by-character bruteforcing algorithm dgFYUfigUI5_ and HappyHorse5_ will take similar amounts of time in order to be cracked.
Well, yes and no. Words still come in a finite number, so if you have a complete enough dictionary, word-by-word bruteforcing could crack your password in seconds. That being said, ezPass relies on Wikipedia which means it can wield a gigantic amount of words. If you choose a specific enough topic, hackers will have a tough time cracking your password and you will hardly ever forget it.
Also, if you add some numbers and symbols at the end and/or the start of your password, it will become even safer!
Sure, any password complex enough is safe, and the ones ezPass generates are also easy to remember. Just don't leak them, don't use the same password on different websites and change them as often as you can.
Yup, ezPass is open source and released under the MIT license. Compiling is done with Prepros and the config file is included. Sorry if the code isn't the cleanest, but if you want to improve or refactor it, you're more than welcome.
