Password Generator With Words

Turn a handful of simple words into a memorable, genuinely strong password. Pick how many words you want, choose a separator, and copy the result — everything is generated locally on your device.

Entropy counts the randomly chosen words plus any appended digit or symbol.

How it works

Three steps, no account, no upload — the passphrase never leaves your device.

Step 1
Choose your words

Set the word count between 3 and 8, pick a separator and choose the English or German list.

Step 2
Watch the entropy meter

Every change immediately recalculates the estimated entropy in bits and the strength label.

Step 3
Copy and use it

One tap copies the passphrase. Paste it into the signup form, and store it in your password manager.

Why word-based passwords work

Random character strings are hard to type and easy to get wrong. A passphrase of unrelated words is long, random and still readable.

100% offline

All randomness comes from your browser's crypto generator. Nothing is sent to a server and nothing is logged.

Memorable by design

Words like copper-lantern-meadow-orbit stick in your head far better than x7#Qp2@Lw.

Longer beats complex

Each extra word multiplies the search space, adding about 9 bits of entropy per word.

Two languages

Switch between a curated English and German word list whenever you like — or mix habits between accounts.

Flexible formatting

Choose a hyphen, dot, underscore or space separator, capitals on or off, plus an optional digit and symbol.

Honest strength readout

The badge shows the real estimated entropy instead of an opaque score, so you can see what each choice buys you.

What the strength labels mean

Entropy is measured in bits: every extra bit doubles the number of guesses an attacker needs. The thresholds below are the exact ones used by the meter above.

Weak

under 36 bits

Fine for a throwaway login, not for anything you care about. Add words or turn on the number.

Good

36 to 55 bits

The default four-word passphrase lands here. Reasonable for everyday accounts, especially with a digit.

Strong

56 to 75 bits

Around six words. A solid choice for email, banking and password-manager master passwords.

Very strong

76 bits and up

Seven or eight words with the digit and symbol enabled. Well beyond what offline cracking can reach.

Frequently asked questions

Is this passphrase generator safe to use?

Yes. The page is a single static document: the word lists are embedded, the randomness comes from your browser's crypto.getRandomValues, and the generated passphrase is only ever written into the page you are looking at. No request carries it anywhere.

How many words should I choose?

Four words is the sweet spot between memorability and strength for everyday accounts. Use six or more for email, banking or the master password of your password manager.

Why do capital letters and separators not change the entropy?

Because they are a predictable rule, not extra randomness: an attacker who knows the rule does not have to guess them. The randomness comes from the word choice plus the optional digit and symbol, which is what the meter counts.

Can I use a German passphrase?

Yes — switch the word language to German and the generator draws from the embedded German list. A mixed passphrase is not possible, since the list is chosen per generation.

Will the same passphrase ever be shown twice?

Practically never. With four words from a list of several hundred there are billions of combinations, and every new passphrase is drawn fresh from your browser's random source.

What if the copy button does not work?

Some browsers block the clipboard on insecure origins or inside restrictive iframes. In that case the tool selects the passphrase for you and asks you to press Ctrl+C (Cmd+C on a Mac). You can also select the text manually.

Where should I store the passphrase?

In a password manager. Generate one passphrase per account, never reuse it, and treat the passphrase for your password manager itself as the one you memorise.
