NAME

Text::Password::Pronounceable::Harden - harden your pronounceable passwords

SYNOPSIS

  use Text::Password::Pronounceable::Harden;
  my $pwgen = Text::Password::Pronounceable::Harden->new(min => 8, max => 12);
  $pwgen->add_filter('RandomCase', probability => 2 );
  $pwgen->generate();

DESCRIPTION

Althouh less secure than random passwords, most people have less problems to remember chunks of pronounceable characters rather than individual characters themselves. Text::Password::Pronounceable produces those, but it has the one disadvantage that it only uses lower case characters. This module tries to solve this shortcoming by providing a generic text filter to generate passwords that are at the same time easy to remember and harder to crack.

It's intended to be used with filters like Text::Pipe::RandomCase, but you can actually use any of Text::Pipes filters if you want to.

CONSTRUCTION

The following paramters can be passed to new(), but none of these are actually required:

min

The minimum numbers of characters a password should have. Defaults to 8.

max

The maximum numbers of characters a password should have. Defaults to 12.

pipe

A already initilized Text::Pipe::Stackable object.

generator

A already initilized Text::Password::Pronounceable object.

METHODS

generate($min, $max)

Generates a new password with Text::Password::Pronounceable and filter it through every pipe added via add_filter of the native pipe methods.

add_filter($name, @arguments)

Add the pipe segment $name to your stackable pipe and initialize it with @arguments. The construct is syntactically identical to the following:

  my $pipe = Text::Pipe->new($name, @arguments);
  $stacked_pipe->push($pipe);

pop(), push(), shift(), unshift(), count(), clear() and splice()

These methods are delegated to the underlying Text::Pipe::Stackable pipe attribute. Please note, that unlike add_filter() you will have to construct the pipe segments by hand with these methods.
