The Inspiration

You can also specify the number of words you'd like your password to be made of by passing the -l or --length option.

If the you'd rather use a different dictionary, such as your machines word list, by passing the -d or --dictionary option.

xkcdpass --dictionary=/usr/share/dict/words
