# Passphrase Generator

> Generate memorable Diceware-style passphrases from random words.

To generate a passphrase, choose how many words you want and a separator. Words are picked using cryptographically secure randomness in the Diceware style, producing phrases that are far easier to remember and type than random character strings of equivalent strength.

## FAQ

### Is a passphrase really stronger than a password?

For the same memorability, yes, by a wide margin. Four random words from a 7,776-word list gives about 51 bits of entropy and is easy to remember; a "complex" eight-character password gives roughly 40 and is not.

### Does adding a number to the end help?

Marginally, and it is the first thing cracking tools try. Adding a fifth word adds far more entropy than any amount of character substitution, and costs nothing in memorability.
