## **🔐 Core Principles:**

- 🔐 **Deterministic Generation**: Same secret + same length = same password, every time
- 🔑 **Zero Storage**: Passwords exist only when generated, never stored
- 🧠 **Memory-Based Security**: Your brain is the only password database
- 💻 **Terminal-First**: Optimized for CLI workflows and scripting
- ⚡ **Multi-Mode Generation**: Smart passwords, strong random, base passwords, and auth codes

**What You Can Do:**
1. **Generate Smart Passwords**: Deterministic passwords from secret phrases
2. **Create Public Keys**: Verification keys for secret proof without exposure
3. **Generate Random Passwords**: Cryptographically secure random generation
4. **Create Authentication Codes**: Secure codes with character diversity
5. **Interactive Terminal Mode**: Menu-driven interface for easy use
6. **Command Line Mode**: Scriptable generation for automation
7. **Cross-Platform Operation**: Works on any system with Python
8. **No Dependencies**: Pure Python with smartpasslib core

**Key Features:**
- ✅ **Deterministic Security**: Identical input → identical output, always
- ✅ **Four Generation Modes**: Smart, Strong, Base, and Code
- ✅ **Public Key Verification**: Generate keys to prove secret knowledge
- ✅ **Interactive & CLI Modes**: Both menu-driven and command-line interfaces
- ✅ **Hidden Input**: Secret phrase entry via getpass (hidden typing)
- ✅ **SmartPrinter Output**: Beautiful centered and framed terminal text
- ✅ **Length Flexibility**: 4-1000 characters depending on mode
- ✅ **No Internet Required**: All cryptographic operations local

**Security Model:**
- **Proof of Knowledge**: Public keys verify secrets without exposing them
- **Deterministic Certainty**: Mathematical certainty in password regeneration
- **Ephemeral Passwords**: Passwords exist only in memory during generation
- **Local Computation**: No data leaves your terminal
- **No Recovery Backdoors**: Lost secret = permanently lost passwords (by design)

## 🔬 Technical Foundation

Powered by **[smartpasslib v2.1.2+](https://github.com/smartlegionlab/smartpasslib)** - The core library for deterministic password generation.

**Key principle**: Instead of storing passwords, you store verification metadata. The actual password is regenerated on-demand from your secret phrase.

**Generation Modes:**
- **Smart Password**: Deterministic from secret phrase (main feature)
- **Strong Password**: Cryptographically secure random generation
- **Base Password**: Simple random password generation
- **Authentication Code**: Secure code generation for 2FA/MFA

**Public Key System:**
- Generated from secret phrase via SHA3-512 with iterative derivation
- Can be safely stored/shared to verify secret knowledge
- No way to derive secret from public key
- Same secret always produces same public key

## 🆕 What's New in v2.1.2

### ⚠️ **BREAKING CHANGES WARNING**

**CRITICAL**: v2.1.2 is **NOT** backward compatible with v1.x. All passwords generated with v1.x are now **INVALID**. You must generate new passwords using your secret phrases.

### Major Improvements:

**Simplified Architecture:**
- **Login parameter removed** - now uses only secret phrase
- **Single smart password type** - streamlined generation process
- **Cleaner command-line interface** - intuitive argument structure
- **Unified generation API** - consistent across all modes

**Enhanced Terminal Interface:**
- **SmartPrinter class** for beautiful centered and framed text output
- **Interactive menu system** with clear navigation
- **Automatic terminal width detection** for perfect formatting
- **Visual feedback** with clear success/error messages

**Security Improvements:**
- **Updated cryptographic backend** to smartpasslib v2.1.0
- **Stronger public key generation** with enhanced algorithms

### Breaking Changes:

**Compatibility:**
- **NOT compatible** with v1.x password generation
- Requires **smartpasslib v2.1.0+**
- **All v1.x passwords are invalid**
- **Login parameter completely removed**

**Migration Required:**
```bash
# Important: v1.x passwords cannot be regenerated with v2.1.2
# Step 1: Recover old passwords using v1.x if needed
# Step 2: Generate new passwords with v2.1.2
# Step 3: Update all service credentials
# Step 4: Securely delete old password records
```

### New Features:

**Command-Line Interface:**
```bash
# Smart password from secret
clipassgen --smart -s "your_secret" -l 16

# Strong random password
clipassgen --strong -l 20

# Base random password
clipassgen --base -l 12

# Authentication code
clipassgen --code -l 8
```

**Interactive Mode Enhancements:**
- Menu-driven interface with four generation options
- Hidden secret input with confirmation
- Public key generation and display
- Length validation with sensible defaults

**Output Formatting:**
- Centered headers and section dividers
- Framed password display for emphasis
- Automatic terminal width adaptation
- Consistent visual styling

### Key Improvements:

1. **Simplified Workflow** - No login parameter needed
2. **Better Terminal UI** - Professional output formatting
3. **Multiple Generation Modes** - One tool for all password types
4. **Clear Migration Path** - Explicit v1.x incompatibility
5. **Enhanced Security** - Updated cryptographic foundation

## 💡 Advanced Usage

### Scripting Integration

**Bash Script Example:**
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Auto-generate password for service deployment

echo "Generating database password..."
DB_PASSWORD=$(clipassgen --strong -l 24)
echo "Database password: $DB_PASSWORD"

echo "Generating API secret..."
API_SECRET=$(clipassgen --smart -s "ProductionAPISecret@$(date +%Y)" -l 32)
echo "API secret generated"
```

**Python Script Integration:**
```python
import subprocess
from smartpasslib import SmartPasswordMaster

# Method 1: Using subprocess
result = subprocess.run(
    ['clipassgen', '--smart', '-s', 'mysecret', '-l', '16'],
    capture_output=True,
    text=True
)
password = result.stdout.strip()

# Method 2: Direct library usage (no CLI overhead)
password = SmartPasswordMaster.generate_smart_password(
    secret="your_secret_phrase",
    length=16
)

# Generate public key for verification
public_key = SmartPasswordMaster.generate_public_key(
    secret="your_secret_phrase"
)
```

### Workflow Examples

**Account Setup Workflow:**
```bash
# 1. Generate password for new account
clipassgen --smart -s "GitHubPersonal@2025" -l 20

# 2. Save public key for verification
# (Run interactive mode to get public key)
clipassgen
# Choose option 1, enter same secret, note public key

# 3. Use password for account creation
# Copy password from terminal to account setup form
```

**Batch Password Generation:**
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Generate passwords for multiple services

services=("github" "email" "banking" "cloud")

for service in "${services[@]}"; do
    echo "Generating password for $service..."
    clipassgen --smart -s "${service}Secret@2025" -l 18
    echo ""
done
```

### Secret Phrase Strategy

**Best Practices:**
1. **Service-specific secrets**: Different secret for each service type
2. **Pattern-based memorization**: Use consistent patterns you can remember
3. **Length matters**: Longer secrets = stronger cryptographic foundation
4. **Character diversity**: Mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols
5. **Personalization**: Include personal elements only you would know

**Example Secret Patterns:**
```
# Pattern: Service + Year + Personal Element
"GitHub2025BlueDragon@Boston"
"Email2025PurpleMoon#Seattle"
"Bank2025GoldenSun$Chicago"

# Pattern: Phrase + Service + Special
"MyFavoriteGitHubPassword@2025!"
"SecureEmailAccess#Winter2025"
"BankingPortalSecret$Fall2025"
```

**Avoid:**
- Common phrases ("password123", "letmein")
- Personal information (birthdates, names)
- Short secrets (under 12 characters)
- Dictionary words without modification

## ⚠️ Security Warnings

**Version Incompatibility**: v2.1.2 passwords are incompatible with v1.x.
Never mix secret phrases across different versions.

### Secret Phrase Security

**Your secret phrase is the cryptographic foundation**

1. **Permanent data loss**: Lost secret phrase = irreversible loss of all derived passwords
2. **No recovery mechanisms**: No password recovery, no secret reset, no administrative override
3. **Deterministic generation**: Identical input (secret + length) = identical output (password)
4. **Single point of failure**: Secret phrase is the sole input for smart password generation
5. **Secure memorization required**: Digital storage of secret phrases is prohibited

**Critical**: Test password generation with non-essential accounts before production use
