PWGen is a library which aims to clone the GNU pwgen functionality. The PWGen library generates passwords which are designed to be easily memorized by humans, while being as secure as possible. Human-memorable passwords are never going to be as secure as completely random passwords. In particular, passwords generated by pwgen without the `secure` option should not be used in places where the password could be attacked via a brute-force attack. On the other hand, completely randomly generated passwords have a tendency to be written down, and are subject to being compromised in that fashion.
