Passphraseme is a quick and simple cryptographically secure script to generate high entropy passphrases using [the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s wordlists](https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/07/new-wordlists-random-passphrases), including their [fandom-inspired wordlists](https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/08/dragon-con-diceware).

1. Open terminal and type _pip3 install passphraseme_

1. To generate a secure passphrase using EFF’s wordlist all you have to do is type _passphraseme_ and the number of words you want in your passphrase. For example _passphraseme 9_

1. You can also choose a different wordlist and really geek out with your passpharase. Type in _passphraseme –help_

As you can see there’s a whole bunch of wordlists you can choose from. Are you a Trekkie? You can easily create a secure passphrase using the Star Trek wordlist. Just type _passphraseme 9 -st_ ( 9 is the number of words in your passphrase. change to whatever you want ).

You can save these passphrases in a password manager. I suggest using KeePassXC or Bitwarden – both of them are able to generate passwords and passphrases.
