Diceware is good for encryption passkeys or for master passwords for password managers. It is awful for actual third-party passwords.

- WorldMaker 9y agoI also find Diceware-style wordlists useful for those "security questions" that are really "backup passwords for use over the phone". Instead of "real" answers to "What's the maiden name of my third grade elementary school teacher?" I try to roll a passphrase, store it in key/value section of the password manager. The Diceware might give "weird" words, but they are all at least pronounceable/describable to a human on the other end of a phone, which still matters in some cases.
