Spanish Random Passphrase Generator

Generate secure, memorable passphrases using the Diceware method in Spanish

Our Spanish passphrase generator helps you generate random Spanish passphrases using the Diceware method with a curated Spanish wordlist. Generate-Random.org provides a free Spanish passphrase generator that creates memorable, secure passphrases with 3-10 Spanish words. This multilingual Diceware passphrase generator uses cryptographically secure random word selection for maximum security—perfect for master passwords, cryptocurrency wallets, and high-security accounts. Generate Spanish passphrases that are easier to remember than complex random passwords while maintaining excellent security. Available in English, French, German, and Spanish. No signup required, completely free.

About Diceware Passphrases

Diceware passphrases use randomly selected dictionary words to create secure, memorable passwords. Based on the EFF wordlist with 7,776 carefully chosen words for optimal memorability.

Each word adds ~12.9 bits of entropy. A 5-word passphrase provides 64.5 bits of entropy, equivalent to a 10-character random password but much easier to remember. For even stronger security, try our encryption key generator.

Example: "correct-horse-battery-staple" is stronger and more memorable than "Tr0ub4dor&3"

Passphrase Generator Configuration Options

Word Count (3-10 Words)

The number of words directly determines passphrase strength. Using our 6,785-word English dictionary, each word adds approximately 12.7 bits of entropy. The Diceware method, traditionally using a 7,776-word list, adds 12.9 bits per word. More words exponentially increase security while maintaining memorability.
Security Recommendations:
  • 3 Words (~38 bits): Minimum security, only for low-value accounts
  • 4 Words (~51 bits): Basic security, suitable for general-purpose accounts
  • 5 Words (~64 bits): Good security, recommended for most important accounts
  • 6 Words (~76 bits): Strong security, suitable for financial and sensitive data
  • 7-8 Words (~89-102 bits): Very strong, excellent for master passwords
  • 9-10 Words (~114-127 bits): Maximum security, military-grade encryption level

Separator Character Selection

The separator character joins words together in your passphrase. While separators don't significantly impact security (as attackers know common patterns), they affect memorability, typability, and system compatibility. Choose based on your needs and the systems where you'll use the passphrase.
Hyphen (-) - Most Popular:
  • Example: correct-horse-battery-staple
  • Widely accepted across all systems and platforms
  • Easy to type on all keyboards (no shift key required)
  • Improves readability while maintaining word distinction
  • Industry standard for passphrase generation
Space ( ) - Most Natural:
  • Example: correct horse battery staple
  • Most natural to read and remember
  • May not be accepted by all password systems
  • Some systems trim or reject spaces in passwords
  • Best for systems that explicitly allow spaces
Underscore (_) - Developer Friendly:
  • Example: correct_horse_battery_staple
  • Common in technical environments and APIs
  • Universally accepted in password systems
  • Requires shift key on most keyboards
Period (.) - Subtle:
  • Example: correct.horse.battery.staple
  • Compact and unobtrusive visual separator
  • May be mistaken for file extensions in some contexts
  • Easy to type without shift key
No Separator (Empty String):
  • Example: correcthorsebatterystaple
  • Creates more compact passphrases
  • Harder to read and remember word boundaries
  • May improve security minimally by removing predictable pattern
  • Can lead to typos when entering passphrase

Capitalization Settings

Capitalize words to meet system requirements or improve visual distinction. While capitalization adds minimal entropy (systems requiring it are predictable), it can help with readability and compatibility with legacy systems that require mixed-case passwords.
Capitalization Options:
  • None (all lowercase): correct-horse-battery-staple - Easiest to type and remember
  • First Letter of Each Word: Correct-Horse-Battery-Staple - Improves readability
  • Security Note: Adds ~1 bit of entropy per word if truly random, but predictable patterns add less
  • Use Cases: Systems requiring uppercase, improved visual scanning, title-case aesthetic

Numeric Suffix Addition

Add a random 2-3 digit number to the end of your passphrase to meet system requirements or increase entropy. This is particularly useful for legacy systems that require at least one number in passwords. The number is cryptographically random (10-999 range, providing ~9.95 bits of additional entropy).
Features:
  • Range: Random number between 10-999 (avoids single digits for consistency)
  • Entropy Boost: Adds approximately 9.95 bits of entropy (log₂(990) ≈ 9.95)
  • Example: correct-horse-battery-staple-847
  • Use Case: Systems requiring numeric characters, additional entropy without extra words
  • Position: Always appended at the end after the last word

How to Generate Secure Passphrases

[STEP 1] Choose Word Count

Select 4-5 words for general use, 6-7 for important accounts, 8+ for maximum security.

[STEP 1] Select Separator

Choose a separator character or use spaces. Hyphens are commonly accepted.

[STEP 1] Generate & Copy

Click generate, then copy your passphrase or export multiple passphrases.

Passphrase Security Best Practices

  • _ Use at least 4 words for basic security, 5+ for important accounts
  • _ Memorize your master passphrase, never write it down
  • _ Use unique passphrases for different accounts
  • _ Consider adding personal modifications you can remember
  • _ Store passphrases in a secure password manager for convenience

Technical Implementation

Our passphrase generator implements the Diceware method using the EFF Large Wordlist containing 7,776 carefully selected English words. The system generates cryptographically secure random indices to select words with uniform probability distribution, ensuring each passphrase maintains predictable entropy levels.

// Mathematical entropy calculation
entropy = word_count × log₂(wordlist_size)

// EFF Large Wordlist: 7,776 words = 5 dice rolls (6⁵)
entropy_per_word = log₂(7776) ≈ 12.925 bits

// Example: 5-word passphrase
5 × 12.925 ≈ 64.6 bits of entropy

Frequently Asked Questions

How many words should I use?
NIST recommends passphrases with at least 4 words for general use. Use 5-6 words for important accounts, and 7-8 words for highly sensitive data like cryptocurrency wallets or master passwords.
Why are passphrases better than complex passwords?
Passphrases are easier to remember and type correctly. They provide excellent entropy through length rather than complexity. Studies show users can remember passphrases better than random character passwords. For maximum security on sensitive systems, combine passphrases with our password generator.
What languages are supported?
Our passphrase generator supports English, French (Français), German (Deutsch), and Spanish (Español). Generate passphrases in your native language for better memorability. Each language has a curated wordlist of 4,000-7,000 common words optimized for security and ease of remembering. Language-specific passphrases are particularly useful for non-English speakers who can better remember words in their native language.
What is the Spanish wordlist?
Our Spanish passphrase generator uses a curated wordlist of common Spanish words carefully selected for memorability and security. Each word is 4-8 characters long, avoiding plurals and ambiguous terms. The Spanish dictionary provides excellent entropy while being easier to remember than English words for native Spanish speakers.
Should I add numbers or capitalize words?
Optional. Adding numbers or capitalization slightly increases entropy but may make passphrases harder to remember. The word count is more important than these modifications. For numeric-only secrets, try our number generator.
