Password

Settings

Number of words:
Capitalize words (default: off)
Add number between 1 and 10 (default: off)
Add space character between words (default: off)

Notes

Do not try to find a password which uses words you like or know. Doing so will make your password weaker.
Capitalizing words or including random numbers does not make password guessing significantly harder, but may be necessary to satisfy the password requirements of some systems.
Adding spaces is not recommended as it does not make the password safer. Also, some systems do not allow spaces in passwords.

Inspired by the "correct horse battery staple" scheme outlined in XKCD #936: Password strength. Some background on this can be found on Security Stack Exchange: Short complex password, or long dictionary passphrase?

The word list contains {counting...} english words taken from the passphrase word list by eff.org (leaving out four words that contain a dash, like "t-shirt"). All remaining words only use the characters a-z and default to lower case.

Your current settings result in a password strength of approximately {calculating...} bits of entropy. For reference, this is comparable to a classic password with a length of {calculating...} consisting of A-Z, a-z, 0-9, !@#$%^&*.

Settings are stored in your browser's localStorage area for your next visit.

Words are chosen using client-side JavaScript code that does not use any libraries. The code uses a cryptographically secure random number generator.
