MMGEN-PASSGEN: Generate a range or list of passwords from an MMGen wallet,
mnemonic, seed or brainwallet for the given ID string
USAGE: mmgen-passgen [opts] [seed source] <ID string> <index list or range(s)>
OPTIONS:
-h, --help Print this help message
--longhelp Print help message for long options (common options)
-d, --outdir d Output files to directory 'd' instead of working dir
-e, --echo-passphrase Echo passphrase or mnemonic to screen upon entry
-f, --passwd-fmt f Generate passwords of format 'f'. Default: b58.
See PASSWORD FORMATS below
-i, --in-fmt f Input is from wallet format 'f' (see FMT CODES below)
-H, --hidden-incog-input-params f,o Read hidden incognito data from file
'f' at offset 'o' (comma-separated)
-O, --old-incog-fmt Specify old-format incognito input
-L, --passwd-len l Specify length of generated passwords. For defaults,
see PASSWORD FORMATS below. An argument of 'h' will
generate passwords of half the default length.
-l, --seed-len l Specify wallet seed length of 'l' bits. This option
is required only for brainwallet and incognito inputs
with non-standard (< 256-bit) seed lengths.
-p, --hash-preset p Use the scrypt hash parameters defined by preset 'p'
for password hashing (default: '3')
-z, --show-hash-presets Show information on available hash presets
-P, --passwd-file f Get wallet passphrase from file 'f'
-q, --quiet Produce quieter output; suppress some warnings
-r, --usr-randchars n Get 'n' characters of additional randomness from user
(min=10, max=80, default=30)
-S, --stdout Print passwords to stdout
-v, --verbose Produce more verbose output
NOTES FOR THIS COMMAND
ID string must be a valid UTF-8 string not longer than 256 characters and
not containing the symbols ' ', ':', '/', '\'.
Password indexes are given as a comma-separated list and/or hyphen-separated
range(s).
Changing either the password format (base32,base58) or length alters the seed
and thus generates a completely new set of passwords.
PASSWORD FORMATS:
Code Description Min Len Max Len Default Len
b32 - base32 password 10 42 24
b58 - base58 password 8 36 20
bip39 - BIP39 mnemonic 12 24 24
xmrseed - Monero new-style mnemonic 25 25 25
hex - hexadecimal password 32 64 64
EXAMPLES:
Generate ten base58 passwords of length 20 for Alice's email account:
mmgen-passgen alice@nowhere.com 1-10
Generate ten base58 passwords of length 16 for Alice's email account:
mmgen-passgen --passwd-len=16 alice@nowhere.com 1-10
Generate ten base32 passwords of length 24 for Alice's email account:
mmgen-passgen --passwd-fmt=b32 alice@nowhere.com 1-10
Generate three BIP39 mnemonic seed phrases of length 24 for Alice's
Trezor device:
mmgen-passgen --passwd-fmt=bip39 mytrezor 1-3
All passwords are cryptographically unlinkable with each other, including
passwords with the same format but different length, so Alice needn't worry
about inadvertent reuse of private data.
NOTES FOR ALL GENERATOR COMMANDS
PASSPHRASE NOTE:
For passphrases all combinations of whitespace are equal, and leading and
trailing space are ignored. This permits reading passphrase or brainwallet
data from a multi-line file with free spacing and indentation.
BRAINWALLET NOTE:
To thwart dictionary attacks, it’s recommended to use a strong hash preset
with brainwallets. For a brainwallet passphrase to generate the correct
seed, the same seed length and hash preset parameters must always be used.
