For years I've used a gadget that generates random pronounceable
strings for creating passwords. Eventually word came down from on
high: "thou shalt use passphrases". So now I generate one of those
random pronounceables and substitute it for a word in a sentence:

Hm how many of those would have been generated by a Markov chain
generator that a spammer used to generate some filler text in a spam
mail? I bet you've seen the
Hi,
do you have an estimate on the number of unique sentences published on

It's about the randomness/unpredictability/entropy of the passphrase.
There are less grammatically correct sentences with 4 words than there
are combinations of 4 words in total.
So, yes, you can take a sentence that makes sense, but then the whole
passphrase has to be longer. There is an estimat
I'm a big fan of that list, and for some time I've been meaning to generate
a tweaked version that uses binary numbering, having recently needed to
generate a passphrase without a dice to hand. Using a coin and rejection
sampling isn't too hard, but it's rather annoying to have to throw away 20%

My boss told me to pick an 8 word sentence and use the initials. I chose
the my favorite line from my fan fiction: "Put All Star Ships Where Only
Romulans Dwell" and he fired me.

My understanding is that these words in such a passphrase are chosen by
a random number generator in a computer. I use such a passphrase; I've
let my computer pick words out of a word list based on reading
/dev/random; or actually, I'm fairly sure I
Hello,
I do not fully understand why some 4 random words like

is a better passphrase like, for example
Und allein dieser Mangel und nichts anderes führte zum Tod.
i.e. some phrasing which could be memorized better?
