We’ve talked about this before, but no matter how strong your password is, there’s always the risk that you might be phished or tricked into letting it fall into the wrong hands. In our example, then, our diceware password is OverstayRinsingSisterCaloric1! – not exactly effortless to memorize, write down, or type manually, but much easier than our previous password |]u_'[3/ To more easily distinguish one word from the next, it’s a good idea to capitalize the first letter of each word. In our example, 43321 becomes overstay, 52254 becomes rinsing, 54432 becomes sister, and 14514 becomes caloric. Using the “crtl+f” keyboard shortcut to find each group will make this process quicker. Then, look up each group of dice results in your word list, and record the corresponding words. This mechanism for generating passwords uses a table of words, frequently the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)’s Long List: and a handful of dice (or virtual dice, such as can be used by typing 20d6 into a search engine like Google.įirst, record the results of your dice roll in order, breaking them into groups of five, such as 43321 52254 54432 14514. These passwords are still very secure, but the next two options strike a better balance between confidentiality and availability. In addition, it’s possible to create highly random passwords that are pretty easy to memorize using another method, but if your password management tool is lost or broken and you have to try to guess one of these, you are usually totally out of luck. However, writing “|]u_'” in a way that makes it totally distinct from “I]u `” or “l)u-‘” is pretty challenging, to say nothing of reading this kind of thing out loud. Now, my handwriting is fairly neat, if I say so myself. I discovered the limitations of this strategy when I had to start transmitting passwords to other human beings on a regular basis, for things like granting other people access to accounts or resources. I used to use passwords like |]u_'[3/
