SIKKR

SIKKR is an open source true-random CLI passphrase and password generator inspired by eff.org/dice.

Usage examples

Generate a passphrase with default settings:

$ sikkr
Imaging7Privacy7Swab6Starved7Subplot6Dropper0Grill3Outrank6

Generate a lowercase passphrase with 6 words from a custom wordlist, with # after each word:

$ sikkr -n 6 -list ./fruit_wordlist.txt -pcase=0 -sep "#"
banana#pomegranate#apple#banana#mango#pear#

Generate a pronounceable password of 24 characters instead of a passphrase:

$ sikkr -pron -len 24
berucugepyrerusocysavyqy

Combine with xclip to copy the passphrase to the clipboard:

$ sikkr | xclip -sel clip

Description

Pronounceable passwords

To generate a pronounceable password, SIKKR joins alternating random consonants and vowels.

Custom wordlists

With the flag -list you can specify a custom file on disk to be used as wordlist to generate a passphrase.
The file should contain exactly one word per line; otherwise unexpected behaviour will occur.

The default wordlist is the EFF large wordlist.
