Pros
Pro Lightweight
The utility itself has no GUI, and is written in Python, so it’s portable and has few dependencies.
Pro Requires little to no storage
Passacre needs only a configuration file to tell it how to hash passwords, what kind of output it should produce, and which sites need specific generation rules. There’s no database where passwords are stored, so it’s not possible to be locked out of everything if that file is lost.
Pro Cross platform
Works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile platforms
Pro Zero-knowledge cloud
