posipass --words 5 --gen 50 --max 8
PosiPass generates multi-word passphrases containing words which have positive meanings or connotations.
The template is for three or more words to be concatenated together. The first word is all lowercase, the second word is ALL UPPERCASE, and the third word uses the standard 'replace vowels with numbers' leetspeek transform. Any further words continue the pattern starting at step 1 again.

I use these passwords for signing up on various websites, and want to balance the ease of remembering these passwords against their worst-case crackability.
Three-word passwords generally have lengths of 12 characters or more, and won't fall to the simplest dictionary attacks.
This is security through obscurity, however, as if an attacker knows the template and the wordlists, then they can easily craft a password cracker to suit.
Don't use passphrases generated by the default settings for anything important, as there just isn't enough entropy to be safe.

This application hasn't been audited by anyone who knows anything about password security.
