Easy to type
Common words with no accents. Good for the few passwords you type by hand: your computer sign-in, your password manager, or a Wi-Fi password.

Random
passphrase generator.
Make a strong passphrase of random words that is easy to read, remember, and type. Choose English or Spanish words, let your browser pick them, or roll real dice and type the numbers. Nothing is stored or sent.

Randomness
Roll five dice, or one die five times, and type the numbers in order. Each group of five picks one word. Spaces don't matter, and your rolls never leave this page. In English, this is the EFF dice method, so your words match the printed EFF list.

Separator
Words come from the EFF long wordlist (7,776 words, CC BY 3.0 US).
7,776 common Spanish words with no accents, so they type the same on any keyboard. Built by Veteran Solutions from wordfreq data (CC BY-SA 4.0); list license and credits.
Length
6 digits
Skips repeats (1111, 1212), runs (1234, 2468), keypad lines (2580), doubled digits (1122), and years or dates (1985, 0704, 071589). A PIN is only safe where the device locks or wipes after a few wrong tries, like a phone, bank card, or door lock. Use 6 digits or more when you can, and never use a PIN as a password.

Characters
Backup or break-glass codes for a system you manage, or a shared account's recovery sheet. Letters skip look-alikes (0, 1, i, l, o), and every code is unique. For a website's own recovery codes, keep the ones the site gives you. The emergency kit is a one-page sheet you fill in by hand; only these codes are printed on it.
Optional. Sends only the first 5 characters of a SHA-1 hash to Have I Been Pwned. Your password never leaves this page.
The strength check runs on your device and is a rough estimate. It spots common words, sequences, keyboard patterns, repeats, and years. Nothing is sent unless you click Check breaches.

Password
Set your router to this password first, then print the card. The code uses the standard WPA format, which iPhone and Android cameras read for WPA2 and WPA3 networks. Your network name never leaves this page.
Bulk generate
Uses the settings above, up to 500. With usernames, you get one row per user and no password contains its username. Usernames stay on this page.
Every password is generated locally, right in your browser, using its built-in cryptographic random generator. Nothing you generate here is ever stored, logged, or transmitted — not to Veteran Solutions, not to anyone. The only outside request is the optional breach check in Check mode, which sends 5 characters of a hash, never the password.

How it works
Words you can type, strength you can count.
Each word is picked at random from a list of 7,776, so the strength is easy to calculate and doesn't depend on how clever the words look.
02
Real dice, if you want
Choose “My own dice,” roll five dice per word, and type the numbers. The computer's random generator isn't used at all. In English this matches the EFF dice method.
03
Local only
Words are picked in this page with your browser's cryptographic random generator. The passphrase isn't sent, logged, or saved.
Strength
How many words do you need?
Each word adds about 12.9 bits. Use at least 6 words for anything important, and 7 or more for a password manager master password.
| Words | Strength | Example use |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | ≈ 52 bits | Low-value accounts with lockout |
| 5 | ≈ 65 bits | Device sign-in with lockout |
| 6 | ≈ 78 bits | Email, computer sign-in (default) |
| 7 | ≈ 90 bits | Password manager master password |
| 8 | ≈ 103 bits | Encryption keys, long-term secrets |
FAQ
Common questions.
How many words should a passphrase have?
Use at least six random words, about 78 bits, for email and computer sign-ins, and seven or more for a password manager master password. Words must be chosen at random; a phrase you make up yourself is much weaker than it looks.
What is Diceware, and how does dice mode work?
Diceware is a method of picking words with real dice. Choose Passphrase, then “My own dice.” Roll five dice, or one die five times, and type the numbers; each group of five picks one of the 7,776 words. In English the words match the EFF long wordlist and its dice numbers.
Are Spanish words just as strong?
Yes. Both lists have exactly 7,776 words, so each word adds the same 12.9 bits. The Spanish list uses common words with no accents or ñ so they type the same on any keyboard.
Should I add numbers or symbols?
Only if a site requires them. “Add a number” and capital letters help you meet a rule, but they add little strength. Adding one more word helps more.
