Passphrase Generator

Create memorable random passphrases like 'Brave-Otter-Lunar-Maple-42' — easier to type than random passwords and just as strong.

How to use

  1. 1Choose the number of words, separator and extras.
  2. 2Generate, then pick a passphrase you find easy to remember.

How it's calculated

Entropy = words × log₂(254) plus log₂(100) for the optional number. Words are picked uniformly with a cryptographic random generator.

Frequently asked questions

Are passphrases secure?

Yes, if the words are chosen randomly. Five random words from our 254-word list give about 40 bits; use 6–7 words for important accounts, or a larger list like EFF's for master passwords.

Why are passphrases easier to remember?

Your brain remembers a few words as a mental picture far more easily than 16 random symbols of similar strength.

Should I choose my own words instead?

No. People pick predictable words and phrases. Randomly generated words are what make a passphrase strong.
