Xyzzy : Easy to Remember, Pronounceable Password Generator

When you create an account on a website, you may have the “password dilemma” as getting good password is important, however making your password unbreakable, that’s the difficult part. A strong password :
  • Must be at least 8 characters long
  • Mix letters, numbers and symbols, and use case sensitivity (upper and lower case letters) 
  • Is not like your previous passwords
  • Do not contain personal information (such as your name, DOB, social security number etc.)
  • Is not a dictionary word 
  • Is not a common name
  • Can't be guessed easily
Yet your password should be :
  • Remembered easily
  • Changed for all your accounts once every 6 months

For the above reasons, I found a free, small, portable software – Xyzzy, very handy, using which you can generate strong passwords that are also easy to remember (see screenshot).


Xyzzy is a pronounceable password generator that can create a password as random as possible, but still easy to type and remember. Passwords generated by Xyzzy are more secure because they are not dictionary words. A number can also be randomly added to increase the passwords strength against brute force attacks.

  3. This isn't one I'd use for bank accounts or anywhere that money changes hands, but for casual logins on social sites it works well.
