PASS PHRASES, PASSKEYS & SECOND FACTORS

More Words. Less Guesswork.

Choose a few random words, generate a phrase, then copy it. Every result is at least 15 characters long. Your phrase is made on your device and is not sent to us.

01 / GENERATED ON YOUR DEVICE

Random-Word Pass Phrase

Browser-only · No account

Start with 3, 4 or 5 words—or choose more. Then press Generate and copy your phrase. More random words make it harder to guess.

Nothing has been generated or sent.

Keep it unique: use a different phrase for each account. Save it in a trusted credential manager and turn on 2FA when offered. For important accounts, choose more words. A 15-character minimum alone is not a strength guarantee. Your device may keep or sync copied text.

How it works — optional technical details

Words are drawn with replacement from EFF’s 7,776-word list using crypto.getRandomValues(). Rejection sampling avoids biased remainder selection. If a complete phrase is shorter than 15 characters, it is discarded and a fresh one is drawn—no predictable padding is added.

Three random words provide roughly 38.8 bits of selection entropy before the small length-filter adjustment; six provide about 77.5. Only combinations meeting the 15-character minimum are accepted. This is not a cracking-time guarantee or a security score. Meeting a length rule alone does not make a short phrase as strong as a longer one. A fixed separator adds no randomness. Repeated words can occur legitimately.

Wordlist: Electronic Frontier Foundation, attribution and license. The list is public; security depends on the unpredictable selection, not a secret list.

REMEMBER THE RANDOM

Build a Scene, Not a Quote.

Keep the generated words in order and picture an unusual private scene connecting them. Memory can be personal; the words should still come from random selection.

THE NEXT LAYER

Turn On an Extra Check.

2FA adds another check when you sign in, such as an authenticator app or security key. If a site offers a passkey, it can make sign-in easier and resist fake sign-in pages. Keep a safe recovery option, too.

A SIMPLE NEXT STEP

Let a Password Manager Remember.

You do not have to memorize a different phrase for every account. A password manager can save them for you. Learn what to look for, explore free and paid options, and set up recovery before you need it.
