<h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2>
<p>Using a master passphrase or a master SSH key, derive a passphrase for
<i>SERVICE</i>, subject to length, character and character repetition
constraints.  The derivation is cryptographically strong, meaning that even
if a single passphrase is compromised, guessing the master passphrase or
a different service&rsquo;s passphrase is computationally infeasible.  The
derivation is also deterministic, given the same inputs, thus the resulting
passphrase need not be stored explicitly. The service name and constraints
themselves also need not be kept secret; the latter are usually stored in
a world-readable file.</p>
<p>If operating on global settings, or importing/exporting settings, then
<i>SERVICE</i> must be omitted.  Otherwise it is required.</p>

<p>There is <strong>no way</strong> to retrieve the generated passphrases if the master
passphrase, the SSH key, or the exact passphrase settings are lost,
short of trying out all possible combinations.  You are <strong>strongly</strong>
advised to keep independent backups of the settings and the SSH key, if
any.</p>
<p>The configuration is <strong>not</strong> encrypted, and you are <strong>strongly</strong>
discouraged from using a stored passphrase.</p>
