About Diceware

Arnold G. Reinhold describes his invention Diceware as:

"Diceware™ is a method for picking passphrases that uses ordinary dice to select words at random from a special list called the Diceware Word List. Each word in the list is preceded by a five digit number. All the digits are between one and six, allowing you to use the outcomes of five dice rolls to select a word from the list."

With a couple of words chosen this way, you have a passphrase that is rather easy to remember but quite secure.

Instead of dice, this app uses Qt's QRandomGenerator class to generate cryptographically secure random numbers to choose words from a Diceware word list and generate a passphrase.

The app supports a couple of Diceware word lists in multiple languages. Just choose your language, word list, number of words and a few other parameters and start generating secure passphrases.

This app was originally released by Koen Vervloesem, and all credit for this app goes to them. They have allowed me to fork and update this click, but I will gladly take down my release if they should ever decide to update their release for Focal.
