Request — remove problematic words from dictionary

[bbusschots]

Request received via bartb.ie contact form:

I work for a K-8 school district in IT, we started using your xkpasswd for student passwords this year instead of basic crackable ones. It's been fantastic but I was wondering if there's a way to implement a SFW/child dictionary base instead of what is there currently. We mainly use your webpage for the passwords but I was hoping there's a way to be able to remove certain keywords more easily than manually.

The keywords that we've seen be problematic:
pain
hurt
dead
death
period
woman
Suffer
blood
died
grave
bone
heaven
pole
anger
broken
cried
sick
kiss

I understand if this isn't possible. It would be fantastic if there was a way to do basics like colors, school things, animals etc only.

We could make a separate preset with a special dictionary for this situation.

@hepabolu - Taking a brief look over the code as I catch up on my NosillaCast listening - specifically listening to your recent Chit Chat with Allison), it occurred to me that instead of a separate SFW/child dictionary, since THE_WORDS, which looks to the the source of the words used for password generation, is an array of words - it (THE_WORDS) could be changed to be an array of objects. The object in question would be the word paired with a NSFC (not safe for child) flag. Or better yet, paired with a list of tags. Then when getting the list, you could filter for the tags to include/exclude.

For example:
// the word list
const THE_WORDS = [
{'Africa', {EN}}, // English word
{'dead', {EN, NSFC}}, // English word, and Not safe/apprioriate for children
