What is Diceware?
Diceware is a method for creating strong passphrases by selecting random words from a large word list. Traditionally this was done by rolling physical dice — each roll mapped to a word in a numbered list. Today, cryptographically secure random number generators replace the dice while achieving the same randomness guarantees.
The result is a passphrase that's both strong (high entropy from a large word pool) and memorable (real words you can actually remember). It was invented by Arnold Reinhold in 1995 and is endorsed by security researchers including the EFF.
