user should be able to specify length of password

[mugdhadalal]

Suppose,we have multiple users and one of them want to set password of two character in length and other want to set password minimum of eight characters in length or someone don't want to specify the password character length. I think,we should add this feature.

So @mugdhadalal, we are using diceware here to generate passphrases that are different from other inbuild character randomizers. Note it concatenates words (not characters) to generate passphrases and since the length of a word is just random diceware does not have any control over password's length.

However, we can manupulate word length by making customized wordlist consists of equal lenth of words and then divide and can do all sorts of math but thats overall different story.

Right now wrapping password externally also can be the way to implement it, for example,

In [6]: diceware.get_passphrase()                                                                                                                                                             
Out[6]: 'MoodyDetractTwentiethHeaddressLyricsComa'

In [7]: _[0:10]                                                                                                                                                                               
Out[7]: 'MoodyDetra'

But see, it divided Detract with Detra and I am just afraid we are not using diceware to "remember passphrase" which is its main purpose.

cc @mayurilahane @ganeshhubale your take on this?

[mayurilahane]

yes, agree!
also, user need a strong password for that it's mandatory to have a good length and some mixing of characters and concern about security so #62 and #63 will solve this problem
