What Is a Passphrase?

A passphrase is a type of password made up of multiple words instead of a short string of random characters. Because passphrases are longer and more readable, they are often both more secure and easier to remember than traditional passwords.

Why Use a Passphrase?

Many password generators create complex combinations that are difficult to type or recognize later. Passphrases rely on length rather than obscurity, which makes them harder to guess while still being practical for everyday use.

Using multiple words, combined with numbers and symbols, greatly increases the number of possible combinations without sacrificing usability.

How Passphrase Genie Works

Passphrase Genie creates passphrases by combining easy-to-spell words such as adjectives, verbs, and nouns, and then adding numbers and a symbol to meet your selected character length.

All passphrases are generated locally in your browser. No passphrases are stored, logged, or transmitted to a server.

Best Practices for Password Safety

• Use a unique passphrase for each important account
• Avoid reusing passwords across multiple websites
• Choose longer passphrases whenever possible
• Consider using a password manager to store passphrases securely
