Are as secure as any other 41-digit password.

Even if an attacker (somehow) knows you’ve used this tool to generate your passphrase, it will still be at least as secure as an 11-digit password composed of a typical set of 40 letters, numbers, and special characters.

In general, create and store passwords with a password manager, so you don’t need to remember them. But in some cases—like for your computer password—getting to your password manager might be inconvenient or impossible. Passphrases composed of a few random words are relatively easy to remember, and hard for a computer to guess.. They are a good choice for passwords you need to memorize.

The tool picks words from a word list of the top 25,000 most frequently used four-or-more-letter words in the English language according to the Google Web Trillion Word Corpus. Some words may be misspelled.

To generate random indices in the word list, the tool uses AWS KMS’s GenerateRandom function. GenerateRandom returns random bits from a hardware security module (a server specialized for cryptographic computations).
