Generate Passwords with Diceware

Use one of the two methods below to generate a password. Generating by the number of words is simpler and will give you a stronger password with fewer words. The acronym method, however, is useful for making memorable passwords.

Is This Safe?

Yes! The passwords are generated entirely on your device: no information is sent back to the server except for your browser requesting the wordlist.

What is Diceware?

Diceware is a scheme for generating passwords, created by Arnold G. Reinhold in August of 1995. Arnold's original page describing the process is – surprisingly – still around and – more surprisingly – still updated regularly. This tool will generate diceware passwords for you, but with some small differences.
