Frequently asked questions

Why passphrases over passwords?

Passphrases are longer, easier to remember, and often more secure due to length.

How many words are enough?

4 words ≈ 50 bits entropy (strong). 5-6 words for high-security accounts.

What is the EFF word list?

Electronic Frontier Foundation's curated lists designed for secure, memorable passphrases.

Need something generated on the spot? The Passphrase Generator produces output that is ready to copy and use right away. You supply number of words, separator, capitalization, add number, add symbol, word list, hyphen (-), underscore (_), dot (.), space, none, capitalize first letter, uppercase all, random caps, eff long, eff short and diceware, and the tool calculates generated passphrase, entropy, strength rating and other key metrics from those figures. For security-sensitive output like passwords and API keys, unpredictability is the most important property. UUID v4 collision probability after generating N values is approximately N² / (2 × 2¹²²). The ability to generate memorable secure passphrases from random words comes up more often than most people expect — in professional work, academic projects, and everyday planning.

Regenerate rather than modify — tweaking generated output may reduce its randomness or validity. 4 words ≈ 50 bits entropy (strong). 5-6 words for high-security accounts. Generators produce output on demand — passwords, keys, identifiers, or structured data. Experiment with different inputs to compare scenarios. Seeing how the result shifts tells you which factors matter most.
