keepassxc-cli: Generate a passphrase with 7 words.
$ keepassxc-cli diceware --words ${7}
try on your machine

This command is used with the KeePassXC command-line interface (CLI) and performs a diceware operation. Diceware is a technique used to generate strong and memorable passphrases by rolling dice and selecting words from a predefined list.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • keepassxc-cli: This is the command to run the KeePassXC CLI.
  • diceware: This is the specific operation or action to be performed, in this case, generating a diceware passphrase.
  • --words ${7}: This is an option passed to the diceware operation. The ${7} syntax represents the value of the 7th argument passed to the command. It determines the number of words to include in the generated passphrase. For example, if ${7} is 5, the passphrase will consist of 5 words.

By executing this command, KeePassXC CLI will use the diceware algorithm to generate a passphrase with the specified number of words.
