Interesting points and I agree.

Makes me wonder if I should’ve picked a different name for my passphrase generator. I named it “Pgen” and I use it several times per month.

Perhaps “passblazer” or something would have been a better name :thinking:

Unfortunately, it’s not really possible to rename it at this point :/

Oh well, maybe some other time I can come up with a creative name for a project instead of an overly descriptive name :)
