Frequently Asked Questions
A passphrase is a sequence of random words joined together (e.g. 'correct-horse-battery-staple'). Unlike traditional passwords that rely on complex combinations of random symbols, passphrases achieve superior cryptographic strength (entropy) through length. They are exponentially harder for brute-force algorithms to crack while being significantly easier for human memory to retain and type.
Diceware is a classic method for generating secure passphrases using physical dice. Each word is selected by rolling a 6-sided die five times to create a 5-digit number (like 35261), which maps to a unique word in a printed index dictionary. ToolZeno's Diceware lists emulate this process using cryptographically secure random integers from the browser's hardware-backed Web Crypto API instead of physical dice.
BIP-39 is the Bitcoin Improvement Proposal standard that defines a set of 2,048 highly distinct English words. It is the cryptographic industry standard for generating recovery seeds (recovery phrases) for cryptocurrency wallets and security keychains. Because BIP-39 words are carefully selected to avoid spelling overlap and phonetic errors, it is perfect for high-security passphrases.
No. Absolute privacy is mathematically guaranteed. All generation operations run 100% client-side inside your browser's local sandbox using 'window.crypto.getRandomValues'. No data is ever sent to external services or ToolZeno's backend. You can safely disconnect your internet connection entirely to verify.
Passphrase entropy represents the combinations space size in bits. It is calculated as H = L * log2(N), where L is the number of selected words and N is the vocabulary size (e.g., 7,776 for EFF Long, 2,048 for BIP-39). Appending random digits or symbols adds extra complexity factor log2(10) or log2(33) respectively per character.
