Nice Password generator (human readable passwords)

[Leech]

Edit by deanishe: This workflow does not generate secure passwords. See post below for details.

 

Generates an human readable password that consists of: 

consonant-vocal-consonant-vocal-number-number-consonant-vocal-consonant-vocal

It uses the amazing function by Pradeep Kishore Gowda.

 

Examples of passwords generated by this extension:

vici14vebo
zugu67fohe
yofi44joje
jisi39sivo
lavi73yifu

Sometimes the results are funny.

Note insecurity of passwords

This does not generate secure passwords.

 

The defined pattern severely reduces the security of any generated password, and Python's random module is not suitable for generating cryptographically-secure passwords. It says so very clearly in the documentation.

Did I mentioned it generates "secure passwords", can't see what you edited of my post. If I did, you're right.

Otherwise, it's a simple memorizable password, not secure.

No, you didn't explicitly mention that it generates secure passwords. However, people tend to assume that password generators do generate secure passwords, at least by default.

 

I mean, why would anyone want a program to generate passwords that aren't secure?

 

Please feel free to edit your post and replace my rather stark warning with a more measured one.
