xkcdpass is a Python CLI tool and library that generates secure multi-word passphrases inspired by XKCD 936. It supports customizable wordlists in multiple languages, word length constraints, delimiters, and acrostic patterns.

Use cases

  • generate a memorable secure passphrase
  • create diceware-style passwords from the command line
  • generate passphrases in Spanish or German wordlists
  • script password generation in Python
  • make passwords with specific word lengths and separators

When to choose

  • you want human-memorable yet strong passwords instead of random character strings
  • you need a scriptable passphrase generator with flexible wordlist options
  • you want multilingual passphrase support

When to avoid

  • you need randomly generated high-entropy character passwords for API keys
  • you need a password manager to store credentials
