Frequently Asked Questions
Are word-based passwords secure?
Yes! A 4-word passphrase has more entropy than a typical 8-character random password. The key is using truly random words, not common phrases. This tool ensures randomness.
How many words should I use?
For most accounts, 4 words is sufficient. For high-security accounts like password managers or encryption keys, use 5-6 words. More words = more security.
Why use passphrases instead of random passwords?
Passphrases are easier to remember and type, reducing the need to write them down or save them insecurely. They're also harder to crack than shorter random passwords.
Should I add numbers and symbols?
Adding a number increases security slightly. However, the main strength comes from the length and randomness of the words. Four random words is already very strong.
What is the XKCD password method?
It's a method popularized by XKCD comic #936, showing that "correct horse battery staple" is more secure and memorable than "Tr0ub4dor&3". This tool implements that principle.
