Generates secure passphrases with Diceware

About Diceware

Arnold G. Reinhold describes his invention Diceware as:

"Diceware™ is a method for picking passphrases that uses ordinary dice to select words at random from a special list called the Diceware Word List. Each word in the list is preceded by a five digit number. All the digits are between one and six, allowing you to use the outcomes of five dice rolls to select a word from the list."

With a couple of words chosen this way, you have a passphrase that is rather easy to remember but quite secure.

Instead of dice, this app uses Qt's QRandomGenerator class to generate cryptographically secure random numbers to choose words from a Diceware word list and generate a passphrase.

The app supports a couple of Diceware word lists in multiple languages. Just choose your language, word list, number of words and a few other parameters and start generating secure passphrases.

    I simple native app that does what it says. I'd prefer to have this integrated into a password manager, but it's a useful tool non the less. Thank you for developing for UT.
