The Readable Passphrase Generator generates passphrases which are (mostly) grammatically correct but nonsensical. These are easy to remember (for humans) but difficult to guess (for humans and computers).
Developed in C# with a KeePass plugin, console app and public API. Runs wherever .NET or Mono is available.
See MakeMeAPassword to generate readable passphrases online (without KeePass).
