Passphrase Generator
Word-based passwords you can actually remember.
About Passphrase Generator
Passphrase Generator builds word-based passwords you can actually remember — the approach behind the famous "correct horse battery staple" argument. Four random words from a list of this size already beats almost any password a person invents, because human-chosen passwords cluster around predictable patterns that cracking tools try first.
How to use it
- Choose how many words and a separator.
- Optionally capitalise each word and add two digits, which some sites require.
- Copy it — and use it for the few passwords you must type from memory.
Questions
Is a passphrase really stronger than a complex password?
At equal length, yes, and it is far easier to remember. "Tr0ub4dor&3" is weaker and harder to recall than four random words, because attackers know all the common substitutions.
How many words do I need?
Four is a reasonable minimum, five or six for anything important. Each additional word multiplies the search space by the size of the word list.
Where should I use a passphrase rather than a random password?
For the handful you type by hand: your device login, your password manager’s master password, your email. Everything else should be long and random, stored in the manager.
