Understanding the power of passphrases

Struggling to balance password security with something you can actually remember? You’re not alone. Traditional complex passwords packed with special characters can be frustrating.

Enter passphrases: a series of random words that are not only easier to remember but also extremely hard for hackers to crack.

In this section, we’ll break down how passphrases work, why they’re so effective, and how long yours should be to keep your accounts truly secure.

Generate passwords, store them securely, and access them instantly from any device.

Maximizing security and memorability

81% of data breaches happen because of reused or weak passwords. Stay protected with random, unique passphrases for every account. Test the secure passphrase generator from Bitwarden today or easily generate strong and secure passphrases in your Bitwarden app.

Increase word count:

  • More words = more security. Aim for at least four words, but ideally five, six, or even more.

Embrace randomness:

  • Avoid using sequential words, common phrases, or personal information that could be easily guessed. Include a combination of upper and lowercase letters for each word.

Consider NIST guidelines:

  • The 2025 NIST password guidelines emphasize longer passwords (12-16 characters minimum). Align your passphrase length with these recommendations.

Keep them unique:

  • Reusing passwords puts you at risk for credential stuffing attacks, where a cybercriminal uses leaked passwords on multiple sites to gain access to your other accounts.
