Description: # psswrd
        
        Simple script with a GUI that generates pronounceable passwords and places them on the clipboard.
        
        
        ## Description
        
        I always have to make passwords and answer security questions.
        This script makes it easy to create random text strings and paste them into forms.
        
        ## Installation
        
        Install `psswrd` as follows:
        
        ```bash
        pip install psswrd
        ```
        
        ## Usage
        
        Use `psswrd` as follows:
        
        1. Start the GUI.
        2. A random password will appear in the `Password` field. It will also be copied onto the clipboard.
        3. If you like the password, press `Done` and `psswrd` will close.
        4. If you don't like the password, press `Again` and another password will appear and be copied onto the clipboard.
        5. If there are restrictions on allowable passwords, you can specify a format in the `Template` field using the following characters:
           1. `l` stands for a random lowercase letter from `a-z`.
           2. `u` stands for a random uppercase letter from `A-Z`.
           3. `m` stands for a random mixed-case letter from `A-Za-z`.
           4. `d` stands for a random digit from `0-9`.
           5. `p` stands for a random punctuation character from `!@#$%&*+-=?;`.
           6. Any other character is copied directly into the password.
        
        ## FAQ
        
        ### Why do you say the passwords are pronounceable?
        
        The letters A-Z are randomly selected such that they follow a probability distribution based on trigrams
        extracted from a corpus of text. So the strings of letters kind of look like words and are often
        pronounceable although it's not guaranteed.
        
        ### What text is used for the corpus?
        
        The probability distribution of letter trigrams was generated from the text of the short story ["Day of the Comet"](https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/65726) found on Project Gutenberg.
