What is the Password & Passphrase Generator?
Generate either a random-character password or a Diceware-style word passphrase, with control over length, word count, and which character types are allowed.
How it works
Both modes pull randomness from the browser's Web Crypto API (`crypto.getRandomValues`) rather than `Math.random`, using it to pick indices into a character set or into a 7,776-word Diceware list — each word contributes about 12.9 bits of entropy, so a 6-word passphrase lands around 77 bits.
SysAdmin & security use cases
- Generating a memorable Diceware passphrase to protect a password manager's master password.
- Creating a long random string for an API secret or encryption key where memorability doesn't matter.
- Producing a Wi-Fi pre-shared key without visually ambiguous characters like O/0 or l/1.
- Rotating the credentials on a shared admin account with a fresh random value.
