Password creation with Argon2
Hi dear cypherpunks, as a little learning exercise I created a small GUI based Golang program, which allows users to create strong passwords with the help of Argon2id. https://github.com/sac001/Argon2id Hope you like the idea! Merry Christmas Stefan

fun Stefan! (Karl this is a good toy for you as well :) only suggestion would be to add a button to CLEAR CLIPBOARD. this decreases the vulnerability window for clipboard stealing attacks (if in your threat model...) exercise for reader? best regards,

=) I felt like working off it when I saw it. it would be fun to copy it to another language, but maybe what's more important is using keys in the first place ;p . i'm trying to use the energy to work on blockchain stuff, towards prevention destruction of information https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5303371.0 . i'm using the energy to add electrumx backend functionality to bsvup, to make it easier to connect to personal servers to upload data, which i'll try to spam about if i fail.

i always say it's good to add a little informatoin towards this stuff while you have the information active from looking at it and thinking about it, since other people might have a bigger barrier to contribute. i know keepassx automatically clears its passwords out of the clipboard if the user hasn't, after a short delay. i've always appreciated that feature. i would probably go to the keepassx source code to figure out how to implement it, myself.
