So you want short, high-entropy keys in a restricted alphabet? That might be tough.
Anyway, if it’s not brute-forceable and/because attacks are visible, it’s not really an issue.

- jwilk 6y agoI don't know what you mean by "restricted alphabet". "--code-length 16" gives you 137 characters on average. With base64, you could have the same amount of entropy in 22 characters.
- minitech 6y agoBase64 is harder to type, memorize, and communicate, although I do usually use lowercase letters for this type of thing as an improvement over digits.
