The Dutch.txt word list is really bad. 1. It contains a lot of short non-words. A lot of numbers, and symbols, and 1 and 2 letter combinations, and too short words. 2. It goes only to words starting with the letter m 3. This results in unexpected bad Diceword passwords, and decreased entropy Some example words that are in the bad Dutch word list: ----- begin ----- 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 # ## ### ? ?? ??? mf mg mh mi mj mk ml mm mmm mmmm v vv vvv vvvv ------- end ------- The new list (I suggest here ) is from: https://el-tramo.be/blog/diceware-nl (the No Composite Words list)

Appreciate the change! I'm not a Dutch speaker myself so I hadn't even looked at it. 😅 The wordlists I used were directly from Strongbox, so they may appreciate that wordlist change too if you wanted to suggest it to them as well! I'll make a build here in a few minutes just for you to use, and otherwise this will be included in the next release! Thanks again! |
|
And here's a build that has that wordlist included! KeePassDiceware_v1.4.2-with-ad6f8a0.zip Cheers |

Thanks a lot Nitz. I appreciate that you've sent the new build (though I had built it myself already). I'll report it to Strongbox too. I really like your plugin. Thanks for creating it! I've also looked through your code. I've posted an 'issue' about ProtectedString(s). Hope you don't mind. |

Hi Chris, meanwhile Mark from Strongbox also agreed to include the new Dutch word list. It will be in the next release. When will your KeePassDiceware get an official new release? |
|
I just merged in an update to the German wordlist from someone who pointed out issues similar to these. I feel like that's a fair number of changes, so I'll get one out today! |

Just published it! https://github.com/cmdwtf/KeePassDiceware/releases/latest Thanks for the help! |
