Passphrase Generator FAQ
What is a passphrase?
A passphrase is a password built from multiple words. Random-word passphrases can be very strong and easier to type than complex character strings.
How many words should I use?
Aim for 4–6 random words. If you want extra safety, increase the number of words.
Should I add numbers or symbols?
If a website requires them, yes. Otherwise, adding another random word is usually the biggest strength boost.
Do you store my passphrases?
No. The tool runs locally in your browser. Any favourites/history (if used) are stored only on your device.
