Human-friendly Generator
Generate pronounceable passwords that are easy to remember but hard to guess.
info How it works
This generator uses alternating consonants and vowels to create strings that follow natural phonetic patterns, making them significantly easier to memorize than purely random characters.
How to use the human-friendly generator
- Choose a complexity: Simple (6 letters), Medium (10 letters) or Complex (14 letters plus two digits).
- Press Generate until you get one that's easy to say, then copy it.
How it works
The generator alternates random consonants and vowels, such as Kotabimevu, so the result can be pronounced like a made-up word. Every letter is chosen with your browser's cryptographically secure random number generator, and the first letter is capitalised. Pronounceable passwords are much easier to read out over the phone, type on a TV remote or copy from a printed sheet than strings like x9$Lq!2v.
Strength: a fair comparison
Pronounceability has a cost. Because consonants and vowels alternate, each character carries less randomness than a fully random character: about 4.4 bits for a consonant and 2.3 bits for a vowel, versus about 6 bits for a character from the full keyboard set.
| Mode | Example shape | Approx. entropy | Use for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple | 6 letters | ≈ 20 bits | Temporary codes or low-risk shared logins only |
| Medium | 10 letters | ≈ 34 bits | Guest Wi-Fi or short-lived passwords you change soon |
| Complex | 14 letters + 2 digits | ≈ 54 bits | Accounts with login rate limiting |
For important accounts, or anything an attacker could test offline, use the random password generator at 16+ characters or a 6-word passphrase, which is also easy to say aloud and much stronger.
Good uses for pronounceable passwords
- Temporary passwords you read to a colleague or family member, to be changed at first login.
- Guest Wi-Fi networks you rotate regularly.
- Kids' accounts on supervised devices.
