Package mnemonics is a package that converts []byte's into human-friendly phrases, using common words pulled from a dictionary. The dictionary size is 1626, and multiple languages are supported. Each dictionary supports modified phrases. Only the first few characters of each word are important. These characters form a unique prefix. For example, in the English dictionary, the unique prefix len (EnglishUniquePrefixLen) is 3, which means the word 'abbey' could be replaced with the word 'abbot', and the program would still run as expected. The primary purpose of this library is creating human-friendly cryptographically secure passwords. A cryptographically secure password needs to contain between 128 and 256 bits of entropy. Humans are typically incapable of generating sufficiently secure passwords without a random number generator, and 256-bit random numbers tend to difficult to memorize and even to write down (a single mistake in the writing, or even a single somewhat sloppy character can render the backup useless). By using a small set of common words instead of random numbers, copying errors are more easily spotted and memorization is also easier, without sacrificing password strength. The mnemonics package does not have any functions for actually generating entropy, it just converts existing entropy into human-friendly phrases.
