How to Build a Memorable Password
Choose how many words you want. Four is the practical minimum. Five or six is right for the password protecting everything else, such as your password manager.
Pick a separator. Hyphens are the most common and are accepted almost everywhere. Spaces are supported by many modern sites and make the phrase easier to read, but some older login forms strip them.
Turn capitalization on to satisfy sites that require an uppercase letter, and add a number or symbol only if the site demands it. This tool inserts them in a random position instead of tacking a predictable 1! on the end.
Generate a few options and choose the one that produces the clearest mental image. That picture is what makes the phrase stick.
Why Random Words Work
Passphrase strength comes from how many equally likely combinations exist. Each word you add multiplies the total by the size of the word list, so four randomly chosen words already create an enormous search space, and each extra word multiplies it again.
The catch is that the words must be selected by a tool. Human-invented phrases follow grammar and common associations, and cracking software models those patterns. Random selection with the Web Crypto API removes them entirely.
Substitutions like replacing an o with a zero add almost nothing. Every cracking dictionary tests those variants automatically. Adding one more random word is always the better trade.
Passphrase or Random Characters?
Use a passphrase for the few passwords you type from memory: your laptop login, your phone, your password manager master password, and disk encryption.
Use random characters from the Strong Password Generator for everything stored in your manager, where memorability does not matter and shorter strings are easier to autofill.
Never reuse a passphrase across accounts. A memorable password is still exposed by a breach on any site where it was used.
Typing and Compatibility Tips
Passphrases are much faster to type on a phone or TV remote than scrambled characters, which is a real advantage for streaming and console logins.
If a site caps password length, drop to three or four words and enable the number and symbol options so you keep as much strength as the field allows.
If a login form rejects spaces, switch the separator to a hyphen or a period and regenerate. The strength is unchanged.
