7w is the deterministic password generator. It converts a mnemonic sequence of words into an unreadable & unguessable password. 7w doesn't store or send your data to third party. It is purely browser-side "password calculator".
- https://github.com/dlepex/entrop (CLI tool, compiled to WASM) is used to generate a password
- 7w is just a UI wrapper for entrop
- use
cmdline
input to specify/override entrop command line params directly
- It works only in sufficiently modern browsers that support WASM.
- Mobile browsers may have some quirks but do work overall
- Some browsers are slow (in particular for argon2), it is recommended to try some other browser if your current is slow.
- My tests show that on (some) Android devices Firefox has 2x faster wasm execution than Chrome.
- You can add 7w to your home-screen (from browser menu), and use it almost as conveniently as a typical mobile app.
- Disable energy saving mode on mobile device when calculating password (it slows CPU)
Changing any extra parameter will result in getting different password.
- charset defines characters that a password can contain (entrop: -c)
- algorithm that is used to generate password (entrop: -a)
- separator to join words into string, that is then passed to algorithm
- defaults version defines preset of algorithm parameters such as number of iterations and salt (entrop: -d)
7w supports URL hash params to change UI
- w=number - changes number of word inputs (default is 7)
- mod=v - changes initial mode to visible (default is stealth)
Example: https://dlepex.github.io/7w/index.html#w=10&mod=v
- At least 1 word of sequence should be incorrect i.e. nondictionary
- You may use the generated string only as a part of your real password (prefix, middle or postfix).
- Do not use deprecated
old
algorithms (for backward compat. only)
