Account Helpers
Account helpers are are classes and character sets that are used in your account attributes. They provide advanced capabilities such as holding secrets, generating secrets, and recognizing accounts.
Generated Secret Classes
Sublasses of avendesora.GeneratedSecret
.
These classes are used when creating account secrets (see Accounts).
Every class starts with a pool of 512 bits of entropy. Each symbol generated
consumes some of that entropy, the amount of which is determine by the number of
symbols that are available in the alphabet. For example, passphrases pull words
from a dictionary containing 10,000 words. As such, each word in the passphrase
consumes 14 bits of entropy (ceil(log2(10000))). If too many words are
requested, avendesora.SecretExhausted
is raised.
- class avendesora.Password(*args, **kwargs)[source]
Generate password.
Generates an arbitrary password by selecting symbols from the given alphabet at random. The entropy of the generated password is length*log2(len(alphabet)).
- Parameters:
length (int) – The number of items to draw from the alphabet when creating the password.
alphabet (collection of symbols) – The reservoir of legal symbols to use when creating the password. By default the set of easily distinguished alphanumeric characters are used (
avendesora.DISTINGUISHABLE
). Typically you would use the pre-imported character sets to construct the alphabet. For example, you might pass:avendesora.ALPHANUMERIC
+ ‘+=_&%#@’master (str) – Overrides the master seed that is used when generating the password. Generally, there is one master seed shared by all accounts contained in an account file. This argument overrides that behavior and instead explicitly specifies the master seed for this secret.
version (str) – An optional seed. Changing this value will change the generated password.
shift_sort (bool) – If true, the characters in the password will be sorted so that the characters that require the shift key when typing are placed last. This make the password easier to type.
sep (str) – A string that is placed between each symbol in the generated password.
prefix (str) – A string added to the front of the generated password.
suffix (str) – A string added to the end of the generated password.
is_secret (bool) – Should value be hidden from user unless explicitly requested.
- Raises:
avendesora.SecretExhausted – The available entropy has been exhausted. This occurs when the requested length is too long.
Examples:
>>> secret = Password() >>> secret.initialize(account, 'dux') >>> str(secret) 'tvA8mewbbig3' >>> secret = Password(shift_sort=True) >>> secret.initialize(account, 'flux') >>> str(secret) 'wrncpipvtNPF'
- class avendesora.Passphrase(*args, **kwargs)[source]
Generate passphrase.
Similar to Password in that it generates an arbitrary passphrase by selecting symbols from the given alphabet at random, but in this case the default alphabet is a dictionary containing about 10,000 words.
- Parameters:
length (int) – The number of items to draw from the alphabet when creating the password.
dictionary (str, [str], or callable) – The reservoir of legal symbols to use when creating the password. If not given, or if ‘default’ is given, this is a predefined list of 10,000 words. If given as ‘bip39’ or ‘mnemonic’, this is a predefined list of the 2048 bitcoin BIP-39 seed words. Any other string is treated as a path to a file that would contain the words. A list is taken as is. Finally, you can pass a function that returns the list of words, in which case the calling of the function is deferred until the words are needed, which is helpful if creating the list is slow.
master (str) – Overrides the master seed that is used when generating the password. Generally, there is one master seed shared by all accounts contained in an account file. This argument overrides that behavior and instead explicitly specifies the master seed for this secret.
version (str) – An optional seed. Changing this value will change the generated password.
sep (str) – A string that is placed between each symbol in the generated password.
prefix (str) – A string added to the front of the generated password.
suffix (str) – A string added to the end of the generated password.
is_secret (bool) – Should value be hidden from user unless explicitly requested.
- Raises:
avendesora.SecretExhausted – The available entropy has been exhausted. This occurs when the requested length is too long.
Example:
>>> secret = Passphrase() >>> secret.initialize(account, 'dux') >>> str(secret) 'graveyard cockle intone provider'
- class avendesora.PIN(*args, **kwargs)[source]
Generate PIN.
Similar to Password in that it generates an arbitrary PIN by selecting symbols from the given alphabet at random, but in this case the default alphabet is the set of digits (0-9).
- Parameters:
length (int) – The number of items to draw from the alphabet when creating the password.
alphabet (collection of symbols) – The reservoir of legal symbols to use when creating the password. By default the alphabet is
avendesora.DIGITS
.master (str) – Overrides the master seed that is used when generating the password. Generally, there is one master seed shared by all accounts contained in an account file. This argument overrides that behavior and instead explicitly specifies the master seed for this secret.
version (str) – An optional seed. Changing this value will change the generated password.
sep (str) – A string that is placed between each symbol in the generated password.
prefix (str) – A string added to the front of the generated password.
suffix (str) – A string added to the end of the generated password.
is_secret (bool) – Should value be hidden from user unless explicitly requested.
- Raises:
avendesora.SecretExhausted – The available entropy has been exhausted. This occurs when the requested length is too long.
Example:
>>> secret = PIN() >>> secret.initialize(account, 'dux') >>> str(secret) '9301'
- class avendesora.Question(*args, **kwargs)[source]
Generate arbitrary answer to a given question.
Similar to Passphrase() except a question must be specified when created and it is taken to be the security question. The question is used as a seed rather than the field name when generating the secret.
- Parameters:
question (str) – The question to be answered. Be careful. Changing the question in any way will change the resulting answer.
length (int) – The number of items to draw from the alphabet when creating the answer.
dictionary (str, [str], or callable) – The reservoir of legal symbols to use when creating the password. If not given, or if ‘default’ is given, this is a predefined list of 10,000 words. If given as ‘bip39’ or ‘mnemonic’, this is a predefined list of the 2048 bitcoin BIP-39 seed words. Any other string is treated as a path to a file that would contain the words. A list is taken as is. Finally, you can pass a function that returns the list of words, in which case the calling of the function is deferred until the words are needed, which is helpful if creating the list is slow.
master (str) – Overrides the master seed that is used when generating the password. Generally, there is one master seed shared by all accounts contained in an account file. This argument overrides that behavior and instead explicitly specifies the master seed for this secret.
version (str) – An optional seed. Changing this value will change the generated password.
sep (str) – A string that is placed between each symbol in the generated password.
prefix (str) – A string added to the front of the generated password.
suffix (str) – A string added to the end of the generated password.
answer (str) – The answer. If provided, this would override the generated answer. May be a string, or it may be an Obscured object.
is_secret (bool) – Should value be hidden from user unless explicitly requested.
- Raises:
avendesora.SecretExhausted – The available entropy has been exhausted. This occurs when the requested length is too long.
Example
>>> secret = Question('What city were you born in?') >>> secret.initialize(account, 'dux') >>> str(secret) 'dustcart olive label'
- class avendesora.MixedPassword(*args, **kwargs)[source]
Generate mixed password.
A relatively low level method that is used to generate passwords from a heterogeneous collection of alphabets. This is used to satisfy the character type count requirements of many websites. It is recommended that user use
avendesora.PasswordRecipe
rather than directly use this class.- Parameters:
length (int) – The number of items to draw from the various alphabets when creating the password.
def_alphabet (collection of symbols) – The alphabet to use when filling up the password after all the constraints are satisfied.
requirements (list of tuples) – Each tuple has two members, the first is a string or list that is used as an alphabet, and the second is a number that indicates how many symbols should be drawn from that alphabet.
master (str) – Overrides the master seed that is used when generating the password. Generally, there is one master seed shared by all accounts contained in an account file. This argument overrides that behavior and instead explicitly specifies the master seed for this secret.
version (str) – An optional seed. Changing this value will change the generated answer.
shift_sort (bool) – If true, the characters in the password will be sorted so that the characters that require the shift key when typing are placed last. This make the password easier to type.
is_secret (bool) – Should value be hidden from user unless explicitly requested.
- Raises:
avendesora.SecretExhausted – The available entropy has been exhausted. This occurs when the requested length is too long.
Example:
>>> secret = MixedPassword( ... 12, ALPHANUMERIC, [(LOWERCASE, 2), (UPPERCASE, 2), (DIGITS, 2)] ... ) >>> secret.initialize(account, 'dux') >>> str(secret) 'ZyW62fvxX0Fg'
- class avendesora.PasswordRecipe(*args, **kwargs)[source]
Generate password from recipe.
A version of MixedPassword where the requirements are specified with a short string rather than using the more flexible but more cumbersome method of MixedPassword. The string consists of a series of terms separated by white space. The first term is a number that specifies the total number of characters in the password. The remaining terms specify the number of characters that should be pulled from a particular class of characters. The classes are u (upper case letters), l (lower case letters), d (digits), s (punctuation), and c (an explicitly specified set of characters). For example, ‘12 2u 2d 2s’ indicates that a 12 character password should be generated that includes 2 upper case letters, 2 digits, and 2 symbols. The remaining characters will be chosen from the base character set, which by default is the set of alphanumeric characters.
- Parameters:
recipe (str) – A string that describes how the password should be constructed.
def_alphabet (collection of symbols) – The alphabet to use when filling up the password after all the constraints are satisfied.
master (str) – Overrides the master seed that is used when generating the password. Generally, there is one master seed shared by all accounts contained in an account file. This argument overrides that behavior and instead explicitly specifies the master seed for this secret.
version (str) – An optional seed. Changing this value will change the generated answer.
shift_sort (bool) – If true, the characters in the password will be sorted so that the characters that require the shift key when typing are placed last. This make the password easier to type.
is_secret (bool) – Should value be hidden from user unless explicitly requested.
- Raises:
avendesora.SecretExhausted – The available entropy has been exhausted. This occurs when the requested length is too long.
Example:
>>> secret = PasswordRecipe('12 2u 2d 2s') >>> secret.initialize(account, 'pux') >>> str(secret) '*m7Aqj=XBAs7'
The c class is special in that it allow you to explicitly specify the characters to use. For example, ‘12 2c!@#$%^&=’ directs that a 12 character password be generated, 2 of which are taken from the set !@#$%^&=:
>>> secret = PasswordRecipe('12 2u 2d 2c!@#$%^&*') >>> secret.initialize(account, 'bux') >>> str(secret) 'YO8K^68J9oC!'
- class avendesora.BirthDate(*args, **kwargs)[source]
Generates an arbitrary birthdate for someone in a specified age range.
This function can be used to generate an arbitrary date using:
>>> secret = BirthDate(2015, 18, 65) >>> secret.initialize(account, 'dux') >>> str(secret) '1970-03-22'
For year, enter the year the account that contains BirthDate was created. Doing so anchors the age range. In this example, the creation date is 2015, the minimum age is 18 and the maximum age is 65, meaning that a birthdate will be chosen such that in 2015 the birth date could correspond to someone that is between 18 and 65 years old.
You can use the fmt argument to change the way in which the date is formatted:
>>> secret = BirthDate(2015, 18, 65, fmt="M/D/YY") >>> secret.initialize(account, 'dux') >>> str(secret) '3/22/70'
- Parameters:
year (int) – The year the age range was established.
min_age (int) – The lower bound of the age range.
max_age (int) – The upper bound of the age range.
fmt (str) – Specifies the way the date is formatted. Consider an example date of 6 July 1969. YY and YYYY are replaced by the year (69 or 1969). M, MM, MMM, and MMMM are replaced by the month (7, 07, Jul, or July). D and DD are replaced by the day (6 or 06).
master (str) – Overrides the master seed that is used when generating the password. Generally, there is one master seed shared by all accounts contained in an account file. This argument overrides that behavior and instead explicitly specifies the master seed for this secret.
version (str) – An optional seed. Changing this value will change the generated answer.
is_secret (bool) – Should value be hidden from user unless explicitly requested.
- Raises:
avendesora.SecretExhausted – The available entropy has been exhausted. This occurs when the requested length is too long.

- Parameters:
bytes (int) – The number of bytes of entropy encodede in the generated result.
master (str) – Overrides the master seed that is used when generating the password. Generally, there is one master seed shared by all accounts contained in an account file. This argument overrides that behavior and instead explicitly specifies the master seed for this secret.
version (str) – An optional seed. Changing this value will change the generated result.
is_secret (bool) – Should value be hidden from user unless explicitly requested.
- Raises:
avendesora.SecretExhausted – The available entropy has been exhausted. This occurs when the requested length is too long.
- class avendesora.OTP(*args, **kwargs)[source]
One Time Password
Generates a secret that changes over time that generally is used as a second factor when authenticating. It can act as a replacement for, and is fully compatible with, Google Authenticator or Authy. You would provide the text version of the shared secret that is presented to you when first configuring your second factor authentication. See One-Time Passwords for more information.
Only available if pyotp is installed (pip install pyotp).
- Parameters:
shared_secret (str) – The shared secret in base32.
interval (int) – Update interval in seconds. Use 30 to mimic Google Authenticator, 10 to mimic Authy.
digits (int) – Number of digits to output, choose between 6, 7, or 8. Use 6 to mimic Google Authenticator, 7 to mimic Authy.
- exception avendesora.SecretExhausted(**kwargs)[source]
Secret exhausted.
This generally results if the length of the requested secret is too long.
This exception subclasses
avendesora.PasswordError
.- report(**new_kwargs)
Report exception to the user.
Prints the error message on the standard output.
The
inform.error()
function is called with the exception arguments.- Parameters:
**kwargs – report() takes any of the normal keyword arguments normally allowed on an informant (culprit, template, etc.). Any keyword argument specified here overrides those that were specified when the exception was first raised.
- terminate(**new_kwargs)
Report exception and terminate.
Prints the error message on the standard output and exits the program.
The
inform.fatal()
function is called with the exception arguments.- Parameters:
**kwargs – report() takes any of the normal keyword arguments normally allowed on an informant (culprit, template, etc.). Any keyword argument specified here overrides those that were specified when the exception was first raised.
Character Sets
These are useful when constructing generated secrets. They are used to build the alphabet used by the generator. For example, you can specify that passwords should be constructed from 12 lower case letters and digits with:
Password(length=12, alphabet=LOWERCASE+DIGITS)
Or here is an example that starts with the alphanumeric and punctuation characters, and removes those that require the shift key to type:
Password(length=12, alphabet=exclude(ALPHANUMERIC+PUNCTUATION, SHIFTED))
