The was a tool in portage this did this. I tried it but it did not work |
12 |
in the real world because you couldn't set a rule for generated passwords |
13 |
that matched the requirements of all sites, for example some require a |
14 |
non-alphanumeric character while other sites only allow alphanumerics. |

I can remember what the tools was called, although I'm pretty sure it |
17 |
was written in Python. I'd be interested to know how you get around the |
18 |
conflicting restrictions as this seems a good way to do things. |
