A Diceware Passphrase Implementation

v0.4 · May 21, 2015 · MIT + file LICENSE

Description

The Diceware method can be used to generate strong passphrases. In short, you roll a 6-faced dice 5 times in a row, the number obtained is matched against a dictionary of easily remembered words. By combining together 7 words thus generated, you obtain a password that is relatively easy to remember, but would take several millions years (on average) for a powerful computer to guess.
