2 Word Password Generator

Generate exactly two independent random words, then optionally add a uniformly random tail when two words alone are not strong enough.

Create a two-word password

The default keeps two readable words and adds eight random characters for substantially greater guessing resistance.

Two words alone are not a strong general-purpose password. Two selections from this list provide about 26 bits of randomness. Keep the random tail or use at least four words when security matters.
8
Choose 0 to see two words alone. Six or more random characters brings the combined estimate above 60 bits.

How random are two words?

Each word is selected independently from the 7,776-entry EFF long word list. Two words have 7,776 × 7,776 possible combinations—60,466,176 possibilities, or about 25.8 bits.

Why the default adds a random tail

A two-word combination is much easier to search than a conventional random password or a longer passphrase. The default eight-character tail is selected uniformly from a 70-character alphabet, adding about 49 bits for a combined estimate near 75 bits.

Is this a two-word passphrase?

It is better described as a short word password. A security-focused passphrase normally uses four or more independently selected words. Six EFF words provide about 77.5 bits without requiring a character tail.

Do not replace randomness with personal words

Names, birthdays, favorite teams, quotations, and connected phrases are more predictable than independent selections. Keep the generated words unchanged, use the result for only one account, and store it securely.

Choose the right generator

Use the passphrase generator for four or more random words, the Diceware generator for physical dice, or the general password generator for a fully random credential.
