zigpwgen is a flexible password generator designed to produce passphrases that balance security and pronounceability. It is based on a pattern system where words, tokens, symbols, and digits can be flexibly combined. Built with the Zig programming language, zigpwgen ensures performance, clarity, and simplicity.
- Pronounceable Words: Uses tokens from the EFF long word list to generate memorable passphrases.
- Customizable Patterns: Define your own password structure using a simple pattern syntax.
- Efficient and Fast: Built with Zig, ensuring minimal runtime overhead and clear, maintainable code.
