Hey, if it's good enough for President Skroob, it's good enough for me:

The core/ directory is 42MB. Most of that is word lists. You could
trim down the word lists some, and as assets they'll compress nicely,
but I worry about this seriously bloating APK size.

It's a nice concept, though. Their algorithm likes diceware, as just
typing in some four-word passphrases based on book titles come up with
seriously long crack times, even for the $180K password cracker.
