A happy password generator

Uses positive words to generate a memorable password, in the format "WordWord999", where 999 is a number between 10 and 999. The words are selected from the list at https://github.com/jeffreybreen/twitter-sentiment-analysis-tutorial-201107/blob/master/data/opinion-lexicon-English/positive-words.txt, published by Jeffrey Breen under an Apache license. (For brevity, I've included just the file, which has more info in the header.)

Warning

NB NB This password generator does not generate secure passwords. Its job is to produce positive, readable, memorable passwords, and its entropy is much too low for any serious security application. We use it to protect very low-value (free, actually) services where no personal information can be gleaned.

For a similar, more secure option, try http://preshing.com/20110811/xkcd-password-generator/ or one of the memorable password packages on NPM, https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=memorable+password.

Installing

npm install --save https://github.com/j-norwood-young/happypass

Running

happypass

Including the password in your code

var happypass = require("happypass");
