Passphrase Generator
Create memorable yet secure passphrases using random words. Easier to remember than random characters, but just as strong.
Why Use Passphrases?
Passphrases like "Sunset-Mountain-River-42" are both secure AND memorable. The xkcd comic famously illustrated that "correct horse battery staple" is harder to crack than "Tr0ub4dor&3" while being far easier to remember.
The Math
