Diceware-like passphrase generator

All the details in this PR for keepassx/keepassx keepassx/keepassx#181

[droidmonkey]

Seems useful for edge cases, currently low priority.

[TheZ3ro]

Can't we just "port" the changes in the PR from keepassx?

[davad]

I'd love to see this feature implemented. There are a few accounts that I like remembering a password, and passphrases are a nice way to create a memorable, high-entropy password.

What can I do to help get this feature implemented?

[TheZ3ro]

I will start developing this in the next few days. Right now we are very busy fixing the 2.1.0 release

[davad]

@TheZ3ro If I have time before you get started, I'll see if I can rebase the PR from keepassx/keepassx#181

[TheZ3ro]

If you do rebase that PR please maintain the commit history/authorship (e.g. cherry-pick)

[phoerious]

For transferring old branches, git rebase --onto is usually the way to go.
But to be honest, I don't really like the user interface of that implementation over there.

[davad]

@phoerious It's not my favorite UI either, but we might as well use it as a starting point instead of beginning from scratch.

[TheZ3ro]

Yes, we can make the UI like the current generator

[davad]

@phoerious I did the rebase without --onto. It was actually a pretty clean diff. I think there were only two commits with conflicts, and just a few conflicting lines in each.

I haven't compiled it yet. I'm building the docker image right now to see what it looks like.

I think this is a GREAT feature. One question I have though is if we can specify the word list? For example, this is used a lot in cryptocurrency wallets. And, these wallets usually follow a standard where the words are selected from a predefined set: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt

So, using this extension, can we define the word-set that will be used when creating the phrased based password?

[TheZ3ro]

I think it should be an option. It's not hard to implement since the wordlist is loaded from file

I have also been looking for a feature like this for a long time! I am looking forward to its incorporation into KeePassXC!
