This goes against the whole idea of that XKCD comic. If you want to come up with a password you can remember, you should string together a bunch of words that make sense to you. But if you want a password you can remember, randomly generating it (especially in a way that has low overall entropy per the current top comment) seems like a bad way to do it.
IMO the days of remembering multiple passwords are gone - either use a password manager, or thankfully the industry is moving to passkeys.
- macrael 3y agoThe XKCD comic was absolutely about randomly generating a four word password, not picking four words that mean something to you. That's how the math works is if each word is random.
