You should avoid remembering passwords when possible. But, at least in 2025, you probably still need at least one. Maybe it’s the password for your laptop, or Bitwarden. It’s important that this kind of “master password” is both very strong (generated from a process with lots of random free choice) and also very memorable. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the best way to achieve this, and the result is below: “passpoems”? “passverses”? Let’s go with “pacewords”.

These poems are generated entirely in your browser based on wordlists you can see by looking at the page’s source code. They have some nice properties:

1. It’s easy to get passwords with plenty of entropy (typically you want at least 75 bits or so; 128 for the truly paranoid)
2. The poems rhyme.
3. They (usually) scan pretty well. I chose the word list to fit nicely into trochaic meter: Everything is either a trochee (like Open) or a dactyl (like Sesame), except that the rhymes are a bit more flexible.

You may need to re-roll a couple times to get a password you like. This is fine; as long as you don’t do it loads of times, you’ll only decrease the entropy slightly.
