today's vibe coding break:

made myself a simple python password generator that pulls 5 words from the BIP39 sed word list rather than a bunch of random characters. easier to remember

Dope! Is it more secure than alphanumeric + symbols?

I like the idea of coming up with a “passphrase” and then replace some letters with numbers, symbols and CAPS. Not that hard to remember 10-15 characters that way.

Yes, passphrases are more secure. You separate the words with a symbol (bitwarden default is a dash) and since most sites require a number, you can just add a random single digit number to any word. BUT, you should not be trying to remember your password. Every place you use a password should have a unique one. That’s why you need a password manager like VaultWarden.
