This xkcd comic has been instrumental to me.

I wrote a command-line utility a couple of years ago that I use myself regularly to generate secure and memorable passwords

https://github.com/ctsrc/Pgen

With this tool you can also see how many bits of entropy the passphrase generation settings you are using will result in.

For example, generating a 5 word passphrase using the long wordlist

    pgen -l -n 5

will yield a passphrase like:

    joyous embolism outsider evasion mashed

And when we ask the tool for the entropy with these settings

    pgen -l -n 5 -e

it will tell us:

    Current settings will create passphrases with 64.62 bits of entropy.

And hey, if you have reason to not trust the randomness capabilities of the program or your computer guess what :)

My program supports the use of physical dice to generate your password.

Have a look, try it out yourselves :D

That’s excellent! I had the same idea I completed a few weeks ago in python trying to write it with the standard library and have it be easily auditable. You can check it out here if you want:

It looks neat, I'll pass this along to the team and take a deeper look at it later.

Also generating a BIP39 seed from https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ and using as many words from the output as you want for your purposes.

It’s better than your last one, hunter2
