Password Security Essentials

01

Use a Password Manager

Let it store random passwords. You only need to remember one strong master passphrase.

02

Enable 2FA Everywhere

Passwords can leak. Two-factor authentication (authenticator apps, not SMS) saves you.

03

Unique Per Account

Never reuse passwords. One breach = all accounts compromised if you reuse.

04

Check for Breaches

Use HaveIBeenPwned.com to see if your email/password appeared in data leaks.

Why Memorable Passwords Matter

The average person has 100+ online accounts. Password managers handle most, but you still need to remember a few critical ones: your master password, WiFi password, and encryption keys. Random gibberish like “x9#mK2$pL” is secure but impossible to recall. Memorable passphrases solve this.

A passphrase is a sequence of random words, like “correct-horse-battery-staple” (the famous example from xkcd). It’s easy for humans to remember but hard for computers to crack due to length and randomness.

The Math: Why Passphrases Win

Password strength is measured in bits of entropy — essentially, how many guesses an attacker needs. Here’s the breakdown:

Common “Strong” Password

Tr0ub4dor&3
  • 11 characters, mixed case + numbers + symbols
  • ~28 bits of entropy
  • Crack time: 3 days (offline attack)

Simple Passphrase

correct-horse-battery-staple
  • 4 common words from 2,048 word list
  • ~44 bits of entropy
  • Crack time: 550 years
🏆 Passphrase wins by 67,000x

How Our Generator Works

1

Cryptographically Secure

We use your browser’s built-in crypto API (window.crypto.getRandomValues), not Math.random() which is predictable.

2

Large Word Lists

Our passphrase generator uses 7,776 words (Diceware standard). Each word adds ~12.9 bits of entropy.

3

No Storage

Everything happens in your browser. We never see, store, or transmit your passwords. Generate offline if you prefer.

Diceware Method Explained

Our passphrase generator follows the Diceware method, created by Arnold Reinhold in 1995. The original used physical dice to select words from a list. We replicate this digitally:

  1. Each word is selected using cryptographically secure random numbers
  2. Words are chosen from a list of 7,776 common English words
  3. 4 words = 51.6 bits entropy (sufficient for most purposes)
  4. 6 words = 77.5 bits entropy (paranoid level security)

The key insight: length beats complexity. A 30-character passphrase of common words is stronger than a 12-character mess of symbols, and infinitely easier to use.

Pronounceable Passwords: The Middle Ground

Sometimes you need to share a password verbally or type it on a TV remote. Our pronounceable generator creates alternating consonant-vowel patterns that are speakable:

  • thog-riv-van-duk — Easy to say, hard to guess
  • pel-mav-tik-zod — No confusing letters (O vs 0, l vs 1)

These offer ~3 bits of entropy per character. A 12-character pronounceable password has ~36 bits — decent for temporary or shared accounts, but use passphrases for critical security.

Password Do’s and Don’ts

✅ Do

  • Use 4+ word passphrases for master passwords
  • Use a unique password for every account
  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)
  • Use a password manager (Bitwarden, 1Password, KeePass)
  • Check if your passwords have leaked (HaveIBeenPwned)

❌ Don’t

  • Reuse passwords across sites
  • Use personal info (birthdays, pet names)
  • Trust “password strength” meters on websites
  • Share passwords via email or text
  • Save passwords in browser (use manager instead)

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these passwords truly random?

Yes. We use window.crypto.getRandomValues(), the same cryptographically secure random number generator that powers HTTPS. Not pseudo-random Math.random().

Do you store generated passwords?

No. Everything happens client-side in your browser. We have no server, no database, no logs. You can use this tool offline after loading the page once.

How strong should my master password be?

Use a 6+ word passphrase (77+ bits entropy) for your password manager. This protects all your other passwords. Never reuse this anywhere else.

Can I add my own words?

For maximum security, use our random word selection. Adding personal words (family names, hobbies) reduces entropy if an attacker knows you.

Are pronounceable passwords secure?

Moderately. They’re better than “Password123” but weaker than random passphrases. Use them when you need verbal sharing or easy mobile typing.

What if a site requires symbols?

Add a symbol manually to the end, or use our “Random” generator with symbol option enabled. Some sites have silly requirements that reduce actual security.
