Passphrases, Explained
A passphrase strings together several random words instead of random characters — the classic "correct horse battery staple" idea. Each word is drawn from the EFF's large wordlist (7,776 words, public domain), giving roughly 12.9 bits of entropy per word — often more total security than a shorter random-character password, while being genuinely easier to remember and type.
FAQ
What is a passphrase vs. a password?
A passphrase strings together several random words instead of random characters. Because each word carries more entropy than a single character, a passphrase can be both easier to remember and harder to crack than a shorter random-character password.
How many words should I use?
5-6 words is a solid default for most accounts. Add a word or two for anything especially sensitive, like a password manager's master password.
Where does the word list come from?
The EFF's large wordlist — 7,776 common, easy-to-read English words curated by the Electronic Frontier Foundation specifically for generating secure passphrases. It's public domain and widely audited.
