Are pronounceable passwords still strong?

They balance memorability and strength. Each character is chosen with the browser's secure random generator, so a 4-6 syllable password plus digits has substantial entropy while remaining easy to say.

How is the randomness generated?

Every consonant, vowel and digit is drawn from crypto.getRandomValues using rejection sampling to remove modulo bias, so the output is uniformly random within the pronounceable pattern.

What makes a password pronounceable?

It is built from alternating consonant-vowel syllables (like "ba", "te", "mo"), which form sounds you can actually say. Stringing several together reads like an invented word rather than random symbols.

How long should the password be?

More syllables means more entropy and a stronger password. Four to six syllables, plus a couple of trailing digits, gives a good balance of strength and memorability for most accounts.

Do trailing digits and capitalisation help?

Yes. Adding digits at the end and capitalising the first letter widen the character set and add length, raising entropy while keeping the core of the password easy to pronounce.

When should I use a pronounceable password versus a fully random one?

Use a pronounceable password where you must type or recall it often. For passwords stored in a password manager, a fully random string is stronger since memorability does not matter.

Is my password sent anywhere?

No. Passwords are generated entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted or stored.

Pronounceable Password Generator

Pronounceable password generator

Generate passwords that are strong but easy to say and remember. The tool builds each password from random consonant-vowel syllables, so the result reads like a made-up word rather than a wall of symbols — ideal for the few passwords you have to type by hand or recall without a manager.

How it works

Each password is assembled from alternating consonant-vowel syllables, with optional extras, all from a secure random source:

syllable = random consonant + random vowel  (e.g. "ka", "lo", "ti")
password = N syllables joined  (N from 2 to 8)
options: capitalise the first letter · append random trailing digits

Every consonant, vowel and digit comes from the browser’s Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues) with rejection sampling to remove bias, so the output is uniformly random within the pronounceable pattern. More syllables means more entropy.

Example

Four syllables with capitalisation and two trailing digits might produce something like Kalotibe47 — easy to read aloud as “ka-lo-ti-be” yet drawn from a large random space.

Syllables	Digits	Example shape
2	0	kalo
4	2	Kalotibe47
6	3	Mibasotudeza812
