When I last tried it, it didn't support generating passwords with English words ie. A 4 work Random password: hack-flipper-jump-london.

Edit: looks like it does support this now.

Not sure I understand you correctly, but Bitwarden can do this (it's the 'passphrase' option).

They recently added that:

"Oct 9 - This is in the next release for various apps." [1] the PR is from Oct 6 [2].

It is a very basic implementation as of now. The wordlist is English-only, and it doesn't have a minimum character account so it contains 'words' such as 'aa' and 'aaa'.

The PR discusses how the original word list that was referenced was changed out to the better long word list from https://www.eff.org/dice .

Great, thank you. Some more choices in that regard would be great (such as a native language wordlist) but I very much appreciate you added this basic functionality. Even in its current form it is an improvement over nothing or manually doing this (am a satisfied Premium subscriber).

Must have been a while back. I've used it for years and it has been able to generate word passwords since day one.
