Description

You might have heard of passphrases, where random words are strungtogether to make a password. If so, you probably know that apassphrase can be both easier to remember, and at the same timeharder to guess, than the types of password that are used by mostpeople. You might have seen XKCD's famous"correcthorsebatterystaple" comic ( http://xkcd.com/936/ ). Whatyou may not know is that secure passphrases must be entirelyrandom, and humans are really bad at being random. That's wherethis app comes in: using a cryptographically secure random numbergenerator and a variety of dictionaries (from 700 - 80,000 words),it generates random passphrases of your desired length. - Use thesettings to make your passphrase as secure as you need it - Theapp's free of charge - and ad-free, too - Variations are built infor US, Canadian and British English (automatically selected)Disclaimer: although I've done my best to follow good securitypractices, security is complicated, and I can't guarantee that thisapp is fully secure - or that your device is malware-free, for thatmatter. I am not responsible for any security breaches that mayoccur as a result of your use of, and / or of problems with, thisapp. You'll note that this app doesn't ask for internetpermissions, so you can be assured that it doesn't send thepassphrases anywhere. Nevertheless, that might not be enoughreassurance for some critical applications, so for the trulyparanoid I'd recommend printing the Diceware word list (http://diceware.com/ ) and selecting your words with physical dice.Acknowledgements: the application logo was adapted from a CC-BYimage by Delapouite (http://game-icons.net/delapouite/dice/perspective-dice-six-faces-random.html).
