niceware-eff

This package is a fork of niceware that uses a wordlist based on the EFF's New Wordlists for Random Passphrases. Because this wordlist is much smaller, it is only useful in scenarios such where brute force attacks are minimized by some other mechanism, such as only giving attackers one chance to guess the password.

Usage in Node

To install:

``
npm install niceware
`

To generate an 8-byte passphrase:

`
const niceware = require('niceware')

// The number of bytes must be even
const passphrase = niceware.generatePassphrase(8)

// Result: [ 'deathtrap', 'stegosaur', 'nilled', 'nonscheduled' ]
`

Usage in browser

To use Niceware in modern browsers, include
browser/niceware.js in a script
tag. Niceware is then available in the window.niceware object.

`


`

Niceware uses window.{crypto, msCrypto}.getRandomValues for entropy in the browser.
