Passphrase Generator

Generate a passphrase you can remember

A strong password you cannot remember gets written down or reused, defeating the point. This generator creates strong, memorable passphrases from random words, diceware-style, which are both hard to guess and easy for a human to recall.

Why word passphrases beat character passwords

A passphrase of several random words has enormous entropy, because the number of possible combinations is astronomical, while remaining memorable, because words are far easier to recall than a random string of symbols. This is the diceware idea: random words chosen from a large list. Crucially, the words must be chosen randomly, not by you, since human-chosen words are predictable. Four or five random words typically give more real strength than a short, fussy password, and you can actually remember them, which is what makes them practical as well as secure.
