Imagine you’re trying to sign up to an account or service and at the ‘enter password’ step you reach a cul de sac because you cannot come up with a good strong password. With advancements in online security measures, websites and services simply do not allow you to keep a straightforward or easy password for the sake of your own data’s security.
But at the same time, a strong combination of random or pronounceable passwords is not at everyone’s fingertips. In fact, it’s rather difficult and frustrating to come up with one.
For such situations, you can take help from online tools to generate random or pronounceable passwords – and that is what this post is about. Take a look at the following list of password generators to decide which one would suit you best.
Pronounceable vs. Random Passwords
Before you use these password generator tools, it is important to understand what are pronounceable and random passwords and what they hold for you.
Pronounceable passwords
These passwords use random letters and numbers that make no sense, but there is a proper use of vowels or a pattern so it is easy to pronounce them and hence remember them.
Some pronounceable passwords may also contain random words of the English dictionary, but they are less secure. Some pronounceable password examples are below:
twechShesPhagAbr
This password simply contains upper and lower case letters with a good use of vowels to make it pronounceable. It doesn’t make any sense, but it is still easy to memorize.
*V!ctimFe@rful79?
This pronounceable password actually uses two English words, “Victim” and “Fearful”. However, thanks to the use of special characters and numbers, it’s harder to crack and easy to remember.

Although this password only uses four simply English words, but these words have no direct connection to each other. This makes it quite a strong pronounceable password. However, it is still less secure than the above pronounceable passwords.
Random passwords
These passwords consist of completely random words, characters, and numbers that have no distinguishable pattern or use of vowels. They are very secure but extremely hard to remember. Below is an example of it:
Ep7$3xf\VSDC#8;+64e5&RYy2?KJ!_b]-091/MZB
You can see that this password is completely random with no pattern at all. Such passwords are the most secure, but they are very difficult to memorize and remember. To sum it all up, pronounceable passwords are easy to remember and offer great security, but random passwords still offer the best security.
Random passwords should be used for financial accounts and business accounts that usually have information worth a fortune. Although pronounceable password works fine for less sensitive accounts like social accounts or gaming accounts.
I am not saying pronounceable passwords are not secure enough to protect a financial account, but why take the risk when you can use the most secure one
