While xkcd has popularized this way of getting password, it was previously known as diceware: http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.html It would be nice to mention that. Also, the provided list of words is quite large and may use long words and derivative which may make the password more complicate to memorize. For example, there are both "acknowledgment" and "acknowledgement". The original list of words from diceware is 7776 words long which provides a 90bit security for a 7-word passphrase. -- panic ("Splunge!"); 2.2.16 /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/psi240i.c
