Comment on Show HN: Secure Diceware Password Generator with zxcvbn entropy estimates

Comments

As a follow up. Today I have removed zxcvbn in favor of what I believe to be a much more accurate custom entropy calculator (which also calculates out crack time based on a trillion key/second crack attempt, which is what Snowden estimates NSA is capable of at a minimum). Since this is working directly off of the known entropy of every Diceware word it gives a much more realistic estimate. At this point the extra download weight of zxcvbn was no longer worth it and the results are more interesting now as well. Cheers.
