Re: Add stand-alone password and passphrase generator functionality

Hi Niels,

thanks for your reply!

Those mockups are really beautiful! Are you working on implementing this?

About the passphrases: Yes, i'm asking for it explicitly as well.

This is how the EFF recommended KeePassXC solved this

It's a tab. But i guess there will be a more GNOME-way as well!?

I think passwords and passphrases are two different concepts to achieve the same goal - more security and 
privacy. Just because many people just do not care about really safe passwords, because they are too 
complicated in their daily use. Passphrases enable the possibility of realizing high entropy in many places 
(hard disk encryption, GPG, master password of a password manager, etc.) while at the same time making it 
truly memorable for people who need security they don't want to copy/paste or look up each time.

Maybe it is also possible to combine both concepts under "key". And then offer both ways.

The classical password way

And a way to create and manage a dice based approach too.

What do you technically think: Would it be hard to implement it right next to passwords?
