Pass-phrase Generator

This is a new generator to create a pass-phrase instead of a password.

The generator builds a random phrase in the form:
[possessive] [adjective] [noun] [verb] [adverb]

As a twist the generator sometimes changes the order of the components - some are pretty funny.

Each word is capitalized, there are no digits or other characters.

The idea is to create a phrase which (should) be easy to remember, but hard to guess / crack.

Examples:

I use a variety of lists to randomly chose a word from each.

How many phrases to generate: (up to 100)

Please note that this utility generates pseudo-random sequences of words only, and it does not verify that a phrase has already been generated.

Once a set of phrases has been generated, you can generate more by refreshing the page.

Depending on the font used the digit one (1) differs from a lower-case 'L' (l) - the top serif usually slopes down on the digit.

Likewise the digit zero (0) differs from an upper-case O. The digit is usually narrower.
