3 years ago If you want to use a custom dictionary, you can do so by providing a file at /usr/share/dict/words and /usr/share/dict/ngerman and then switching the words service to "Local dictionary".
If you know of any (free) online service which provides good international/german dictionaries, feel free to suggest a new words service.
I won't provide a filtered dictionary for the following reasons:
- It's waaayyy out of scope. That's just an amount of work i'm not willing to do. (this is the main reason)
- Picking the words goes against the idea of them being random.
- What is acceptable and what not is highly subjective.
- You can just generate another password if you don't like the current one.
Infact it seems like your password-dictionary seems political biased.
If you're using the recommended Leipzig Corpora Collection: The two main corpora are from german news and the german Wikipedia. It's open source and you're free to contribute.
Current Status Regulary the app suggests passwords including words which are inappropriate.
Feature Description Please change the password-suggestion-dictionary to a harmless one.
Additional context I often stumble across strange words whenever the app is suggesting passwords. Today I got "Wehrmachtkrieg" (with letters exchanged with numbers as always). Not just as a German this is no good password which you want to share with family members. Infact it seems like your password-dictionary seems political biased.
