Easy strong passwords (+ Black Friday)

I was playing around with making a three-word story generator a while back, just a simple tool that spat out random combinations to spark ideas. Object, Action, Theme. Hit refresh, get a new set.

Then I went to create yet another password for yet another account, and the usual generators gave me the typical garbage: xK9$mj9~bvxP2@vL. Secure? Sure. Memorable? Not unless you have a very specific kind of brain.

I realised the three-word structure I'd just built would actually work better. Three random words are easy to remember but hard to guess, especially when you can capitalise randomly or toss in some numbers too. Things like cloud-ignites-midnight or Hammer17Explores42Jazz are still strong, but your brain can actually hold onto them.

So I reworked the generator into Strong Pass. Use the random words or pick your own with one click. You can copy to clipboard with or without dashes between the words. Add numbers or capitals if you want.

That’s it. No extra features or clutter. I just wanted fast, clean, usable passwords that don't feel like you're memorising license plates.

It solved my need. Maybe it'll solve yours?

Black Friday

Yes it’s that time of year again. I really don’t like lots of fuss and overcomplicated deals, so I’m offering a straightforward 25% off anything on my Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy stores until 4 Dec. Just use code BF2025.

Talk soon,
