To create and remember passwords for online services, the best practice for
most folks online is to use a password management tool such as `Bitwarden
<https://bitwarden.com/>`_ to generate long, cryptographically random
passwords. Then, a very strong passphrase is used to lock the password manager.

Unfortunately, in a misguided attempt to encourage users to choose better
passwords, many websites and apps have `very bad password policies <https://kottke.org/12/06/the-worlds-worst-password-requirements-list>`_
that place restrictions on what sorts of characters must be (or may not be) in
a password. These policies inhibit users from using cryptographically random
password generators. In fact, a long, high-entropy password is more likely to
violate such rules, which means a security-savvy user may have to attempt
several "random" passwords before one is accepted.

Enter dumbpw. dumbpw allows you to configure a set of rules, and then it will
generate a cryptographically secure password that conforms to those dumb rules.

If all you need is a password generator, **you should not use this**.

Installation
------------

.. code-block :: console

    pip3 install dumbpw

Usage
-----

.. code-block :: console

    $ dumbpw -h
    Usage: dumbpw [OPTIONS]

    Options:
    --length INTEGER RANGE  The length of the password.  [1<=x<=512]
    --uppercase INTEGER     The minimum number of uppercase characters.
    --lowercase INTEGER     The minimum number of lowercase characters.
    --digits INTEGER        The minimum number of digit characters.
    --specials INTEGER      The minimum number of special characters.
    --blocklist TEXT        Characters that may not be in the password.
                            [default: '";]
    --help                  Show this message and exit.

dumbpw uses `secrets <https://docs.python.org/3/library/secrets.html>`_
to generate passwords.

============
Development
============

To install development dependencies, you will need `poetry <https://docs.pipenv.org/en/latest/>`_
and `pre-commit <https://pre-commit.com/>`_.

.. code-block :: console

    pre-commit install --install-hooks
    poetry install && poetry shell

`direnv <https://direnv.net/>`_ is optional, but recommended for convenience.
