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!
