#2Main features:
* Fast
* Makes use of EFF wordlists which were designed to contain human-friendly words as opposed to the arcane and obscure and strange words found in e.g. /usr/share/dict/words.
* Single binary with wordlists compiled into it.
* It can tell you the password entropy if you'd like it to.
* You can use physical dice if you like. By default it will use the OS provided CSPRNG.
Installation:
1) Install Rust - https://rustup.rs/
2) cargo install pgen

Was a bit annoying to install with the rust toolchain from the Ubuntu/Elementary Freya repositories because the outdated compiler would fail on the bitflags package.
With the toolchain installed through rustup it works well.
Now I only need to become accustomed to these kinds of passwords.
