Would it be possible to add sometinhg like
"How-Easy-To-Hack"-status. If you have
only numbers, it may be easier and then,
somewhere, there could be a bar or a text
"98.392 % safe" or something like that.

Hmm you understand? =/

Note that no password will never 100% safe. Too many people write them on post-it ;-)

Hi Neptune,

Great little tool you have here. Had a little compilation problem. Had to include unistd.h in src/passwordcreator.cpp so that the call to getpid() worked..

Hmm, thanks for the information. I don't need this include on my machine, but i'll commit this change immediately. I'll try to find from wich include I got getpid() declaration.

pronouncable pwds

I created a similar script in php once that had 1 distinguished feature: all generated passwords were pronouncable.
In my experience users tend to stick to the initial passwords more often if they can pronounce it! Would be nice to add.
The algorithm for creating a readable password I came up with:

array C are Consonants
array V are Vowels
array A are C+V

1. Choose a random char from A
2. if (previous 2 chars were 2xC or 2xV) choose from 'the other side' else: 1.
3. if char is last char: never end with double V.

It's not foolproof, but a nice start.

Additionally you could replace all characters that look like numbers. e.g. i = 1, e=3, s=5, z=2 etc...

The script:

Oh, and I forgot: it should never start with double Vowel as well... looks ugly and is hardly pronouncable ;)

This is an example of a programmer not paying attention to what he/she is doing.

A programmer should know what every line of their code does, and if there are any bugs, should know where every bug is and how to solve it. Anyone who says this is impossible is either wrong, lazy, or stupid and does not need to be writing code. This is one of the reasons Windows users don't switch to Linux.

Bugs in the code are a perfect example of a programmer not paying attention to what he/she is doing.

Neptune, if you're not going to pay attention to what every line of your code does, you're going to end up with buggy apps and you have no business writing programs at all.

Either pay attention to detail, or find another hobby.

Woaw, nice comment. I'll take care. But why are you so hard with me? I don't think I have many bugs. Are you only angry because the default Makefile from kdevelop doesnt provide an install rule??

qtdir and qt-mt

On debian qt3 is not in /usr/qt/3/ but in /usr/qt3/ or well... it is on my half package half self compiled system.
Further, my qt is multithreaded and the makefile assumes -lqt where in my case it is -lqt-mt.
How about configure? :)

Can't Make on SuSE 9

I tired to install on my SuSE 9.1 Pro system. I followed the instructions in the Install file for the latest (10/6) version. Here is my output:

jsnyder@linux:~/Software/passwordcreator> qmake -o Makefile passwordcreator.pro
jsnyder@linux:~/Software/passwordcreator> make
cd src && make -f Makefile
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jsnyder/Software/passwordcreator/src'
make[1]: * No rule to make target `/usr/qt/3/mkspecs/linux-g++/qmake.conf', needed by `Makefile'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jsnyder/Software/passwordcreator/src'
make: * [sub-src] Error 2

It seems that the Makefile is looking in the wrong place to find qmake.conf. On SuSE the qmake.conf file is located at:

/usr/lib/qt3/mkspecs/linux-g++/qmake.conf

How can I fix this problem to be able to run "make"? I looked in the /src/Makefile and manually reset the path, but still I get this error. Thanks.
