🧠 Easy to Remember
A passphrase like "correct-horse-battery-staple" is far easier to memorise than "xK#9mP!2". The human brain naturally processes and retains word sequences.
Secure, Memorable Passphrases
A passphrase like "correct-horse-battery-staple" is far easier to memorise than "xK#9mP!2". The human brain naturally processes and retains word sequences.
Four random words from a 7,776-word wordlist gives ~51 bits of entropy. Six words gives ~78 bits — more than most complex password policies require.
Passphrases avoid cryptic special characters. They're faster to type on mobile, less prone to errors, and work well with most authentication systems.
NIST (SP 800-63B) recommends passphrases of at least 15 characters. They advise against complexity rules and mandatory rotation — length and memorability are key.
