Easily generate secure, random pass phrases that even the NSA (probably) won't be able to crack, using the Diceware algorithm! The Diceware algorithm consists of rolling a 6-sided die 5 times per word in your passphrase (e.g. for a 7-word pass phrase, roll the die 5 * 7 = 35 times). Each set of 5 rolls is grouped into a 5-digit number, which is then looked up in a list of words. This allows for truly random pass phrases. Features - Generates passphrases with customizable security settings - Copy passphrase to clipboard. Saved passphrases are automatically saved to the passphrase history. - Create passphrases that satisfy website security requirements by capitalizing words or adding a random number or special character - Capitalize words DiceGen is completely free, with no in-app purchase required to use all features! Disclaimer: The algorithm actually calls for use of a physical die, but this app uses a random number generator function. These functions are not truly random, but are a great convenience over rolling a die a bunch of times!

Strong passwords are supposed to be random, long, and impossible to remember. Mantra fixes that. Instead of cryptic strings you'll forget the moment you set them, Mantra stitches real words into a passphrase that's genuinely easy to recall — and genuinely hard to crack. It's built on diceware: every word is drawn at random from a carefully curated list, so each passphrase is memorable and seriously strong at the same time. Why you'll like it: • Memorable by design — real words, not a jumble of symbols • Strong by the numbers — proven diceware randomness • 11 languages — choose the words that stick for you • Your length, your call — tune it to your security needs • Share in a tap — send a passphrase wherever you need it No accounts. No tracking. No ads. Just better passwords. It's time to stop forgetting your passwords — or at least start hating them a little less.
