The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Crypt::PW44
DSLIP: bdpfp
description: xkcd/936 style password generator
userid: BRIAND (Brian Dickson)
chapterid: 14 (Security_and_Encryption)
communities:
water cooler
similar:
SKey (basis for dictionary), other password generators
rationale:
It's based on Crypt::SKey, which arguably generates passwords.
PW44 means "PassWord generator, 44 bits strong".
It creates random passwords which are very strong, but very easy to
remember. See xkcd/936 for where the idea came from.
It should eventually replace stoopid passwords (and corporate
password policies) which do not provide adequate password strength.
It is very cool. Enjoy.
