DESCRIPTION
A small, lightweight, free, extension for Internet Explorer, Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape, Flock, and Yahoo! Widgets which creates unique,
secure passwords that are very easy for you to retrieve but no one else. Nothing is stored anywhere, anytime, so there's nothing to be
hacked, lost, or stolen.
This is the Command Line Version.

passwordmaker by default looks for a Configfile in $HOME/.passwordmaker.rdf. The syntax is compatible to rdf-files generated by the sis-
ter-applications for Browsers. (see below) You can simply take a rdf-File and place it in $HOME/.passwordmaker.rdf. An example for the
syntax can be found in /usr/share/doc/passwordmaker-cli/passwordmaker.rdf
