- Ajedi32 9y agoYeah, the default word list is pretty terrible. Try one of the ones from the EFF: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/07/new-wordlists-random-passphrases https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/07/new-wordlists-random-p...
- knodi123 9y agough, the actual wordlist is a single hyperlinked sentence in the center of a thousand word essay. Here's a direct link: https://www.eff.org/files/2016/07/18/eff_large_wordlist.txt https://www.eff.org/files/2016/07/18/eff_large_wordlist.txt
- Ajedi32 9y agoThere are multiple word lists mentioned in that article, accompanied by an explanation of what types of words they include. Depending on your personal preferences, you might want to use a different list. That's why I linked the blog post and not the word lists directly.
- jksmith 9y agoThere are alternative lists you can look at.
- psychometry 9y agoYou need a mental picture/narrative to remember passphrases.
- gmuslera 9y agoTry to make a (short) story/idea connecting those random words. Stories, something with sense and meaning, are easier to remember. correct horse battery staple is the usual example about this.
- YPCrumble 9y agoIt's funny, I just came back to HN and saw your comment. I have absolutely no idea what that password was and I'm sure I would have forgotten the short story. Maybe that story would work for one main password on a password manager, but I don't think it would work for me at least for more than one or two passwords.
