apg-go is a simple APG-like password generator written in Go.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It tries to replicate the functionality of the "Automated Password Generator",
|
|
|
|
|
which hasn't been maintained since 2003. Since more and more Unix distributions
|
|
|
|
|
are abondoning the tool, I was looking for an alternative. FreeBSD for example
|
|
|
|
|
recommends "security/makepasswd", which is written in Perl but requires a lot
|
|
|
|
|
of dependency packages and doesn't offer the feature-set/flexibility of APG.

Since FIPS-181 (pronouncable passwords) has been withdrawn in 2015, there is
|
2021-04-17 13:55:31 +02:00
|
|
|
no use in replicating that feature. Therfore apg-go does not support
|
|
|
|
|
pronouncable passwords.
