Are there applications for generating human-friendly but secure passwords? [closed]

Are there applications for generating human-friendly but secure passwords? [closed] I'm using KeePass for storing my passwords for various sites, because you're more vulnerable than you think if you use the same password on multiple sites (especially if it is short enough to be reversed through rainbow tables.)

"Don't generate one, make your own memorable one!

This site will allow you to test it's strength against multiple criteria."

"I don't know what platform you're on, but Mac OS X has a tool like this built into the Accounts settings:

It can also estimate how strong any password is, and it has lots of Type and Length options.

As for other platforms, or generic things, a bit of Googling has led me to these:

http://strongpasswordgenerator.com/

And more."

"Here is an alternative take -- SuperGenPass.
Saw it at the Google OS tips blog.

Try something like, this blog entry: A password generator I can remember

I would never trust an online system to generate my password though.
(SuperGenPass mobile for example).

I liked Johns PasswordMeter reference a lot (+1 to him for that)."

"I always use pass-phrases - the longer the better... Going above 14-16 characters is the first sweet spot to aim for and the character variation can suffer a hit if it means it's longer. This is easily done and remembered with a regular sentence like ""Get things done today again!"" or ""Damn I'm good at this!"".

A bonus is that most computer users can type regular sentences much faster and more accurately which lowers the risk of someone spotting what you're typing.

Obviously, passwords need to be changed on a regular basis, or they're near useless."

Keepassx has a pronounceable password generator built into it.
