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.
