Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Inspired by the xkcd Password Strength comic, this extension provides you with ten relatively complex, yet easy to remember passwords. Optionally, you can include numbers or symbols for additional complexity (or to satisfy certain password requirements), and adjust the number of words.

Why should I use passwords like these?

Using common words in your password aids memorability.
Using multiple words ensures sufficient complexity to prevent guessing of the password.

The Stanford Javascript Crypto Library is used to provide random values—a derivative of Ferguson and Schneier's generator Fortuna.

Using a password manager like 1Password, KeePass, or LastPass is a must these days, and they will generate passwords for you. But this extension makes very secure passwords that are easy to remember, too.
