Question Ranking
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 Easy and intutive to use
Pro Password Depot will create passwords for you
You are offered various options - number of characters, upper or lower case, numbers, punctuation characters, and even excluding similar looking characters while also giving you an estimate of the time to crack the password.
Pro Free iOS version available
There is an iOS app. This can use the same files as the Windows version (PSWD). The files are stored locally on the iOS device.
Cons
Con Requires knowledge of the command line
To use passacre, some knowledge of the command line as well as Python is required.
Con You must remember to SAVE any changes
If you frequently create passwords for new web sites, you might find it's not there because you forgot to save it. This behavior was specifically designed into the Password Depot, but it can still feel frustrating nonetheless.
