I have always been a stickler when it comes to code of any sorts, passwords being one of them. While most of the time I used random strong passwords one thing that always bugged me was that they were hard to type in and even harder to memorise. Following a suggestion from Bjoern Rennhak, CTO of UK based Orpiva I came up with XKPassword (check image for the concept).

Sadly, due to terrible oversight, its only after 4 years of its initial release date that I have noticed that there are swear words in the database. This has been rectified as of v0.3.3 release of the gem released yesterday.

Few more updates for the gem are underway. One planned update is to support multiple languages. But after a few hours of searches I couldn't find a decent library in few languages I checked.
