Intro

opwgen generates passwords that are easy to remember, but still secure.

It takes 128 bits of random data from /dev/urandom and shows it in the form of 12 words. There is no loss of information in converting from the 128bit input data and the words. You can convert it back again if you want to.

I recommend 128bit (default) for crypto applications and 64bit for login passwords. 64bit passwords are represented by 6 words.
