There are a variety of products and systems available to produce passwords and passphrases. Using one of these is better than thinking your own password up because they ensure randomness (while humans are very bad at being random).

  • Make Me A Password - a website written by one of the authors of Wise Owl legal which generates passphrases and passwords.
  • Diceware - uses a printable list of words and dice to select a passphrase. We recommend 4 or more words for an above quality passphrase. (Wise Owl Legal uses a variation of this system to generate passphrases).
  • Random Word Machine - generates pronounceable yet nonsense words. Put two or three words together to make a secure passphrase.
  • Search for other password generatorgenerators on the Internet - most generators make passwords like 3497zVp63v4IC, and have options to change the length, what characters appear in it and so forth.
