CliPassGen

• Zero-Storage Security — no passwords or secret phrases are ever stored or transmitted
• Decentralized Architecture — no central servers, no cloud dependency
• Deterministic Generation — same secret + same length = same password, every time
• Memory-Based Security — your brain is the only password database
• Terminal-First — optimized for CLI workflows and scripting
• Multi-Mode Generation — smart passwords, strong random, base passwords, auth codes, public keys, verification

• Decentralized & Serverless — no central database, no cloud lock-in
• Deterministic Security — identical input → identical output, always
• Six Generation Modes — Smart, Strong, Base, Code, Public Key, Verify
• Public Key Verification — generate and verify keys to prove secret knowledge
• Interactive & CLI Modes — both menu-driven and command-line interfaces
• Hidden Input — secret phrase entry via getpass (hidden typing)
• Length Flexibility — 12-100 characters for passwords, 4-100 for codes
• No Internet Required — all cryptographic operations local

• Proof of Knowledge — public keys verify secrets without exposing them
• Decentralized Trust — no third party needed
• Deterministic Certainty — mathematical certainty in password regeneration
• Ephemeral Passwords — passwords exist only in memory during generation
• Local Computation — no data leaves your terminal
• No Recovery Backdoors — lost secret = permanently lost passwords

Powered by smartpasslib v4.0.0+ — The core library for deterministic password generation.

Key derivation (same as Python/JS/Kotlin/Go/C# versions v4.0.0):

Character Set:

!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{};:,.<>?/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Validation Rules: Secret phrase: min 12 chars · Password length: 12-100 chars · Code: 4-100 chars

Generation Modes:

• Smart Password — deterministic from secret phrase
• Strong Password — cryptographically secure random
• Base Password — simple random password
• Authentication Code — secure code for 2FA/MFA (max length extended to 100)
• Public Key — generate verification key from secret phrase
• Verify — check secret against stored public key

git clone https://github.com/smartlegionlab/clipassgen
cd clipassgen
python app.py

Via PyPI:

pip install clipassgen==4.0.0

Interactive Mode:

clipassgen

Command-Line Mode:

# Smart password (deterministic, CROSS-PLATFORM!)
clipassgen --smart -s "MyStrongSecretPhrase2026!" -l 16

# Strong random password
clipassgen --strong -l 20

# Base random password
clipassgen --base -l 16

# Authentication code (2FA) - now up to 100 chars
clipassgen --code -l 8

# Generate public key from secret
clipassgen --public -s "MyStrongSecretPhrase2026!"

# Verify secret against public key
clipassgen --verify -s "MyStrongSecretPhrase2026!" -k "public_key_here"
