Memorable Passphrase Generator
What is Memorable Passphrase Generator
A passphrase generator builds a password from several random everyday words, such as maple-river-copper-lantern. A short line of words is far easier to remember than a jumble of symbols, yet a handful of them picked at random is very hard to guess. This tool draws each word from the browser's secure random source, so nothing you generate ever leaves your device.
How to use
- Set how many words you want with the slider (3 to 10).
- Pick a separator: hyphen, space, dot or underscore.
- Turn on capital letters, a number or a symbol if a site asks for them.
- Copy the passphrase, or press the regenerate button for a fresh one.
When to use it
Need a master password you can actually type from memory? Set it to six words with a hyphen and you get something like cedar-otter-gravel-mint-harbor-willow, around 55 bits of entropy. Bump it to seven words to cross into strong territory (60+ bits), the kind of secret worth guarding the rest of your logins with. Add a number and symbol only when a form insists.
Frequently asked questions
Are word-based passphrases actually secure?
Yes, as long as the words are random and you use enough of them. Six or seven words drawn from a 580-word list resist guessing better than most short character passwords, and they are much easier to recall. The strength meter shows the entropy so you can judge for yourself.
Is my passphrase sent anywhere?
No. Each passphrase is built locally in your browser with the Web Crypto API. Nothing is transmitted, logged or stored, so you can generate as many as you like in private.
What does the entropy number mean?
It estimates how much randomness the passphrase holds, in bits. Higher is better: under 45 bits is weak, 60 or more is strong, and 80+ is very strong. Adding words raises it fastest, since each word is worth about nine bits here.
