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).

"Unable to find a passphrase" error output as a password

When the plugin cycles through passwords and checks them against min and max length rules, it discards passwords that do not meet the rules, but it also then outputs an error message in place of the password. This means that sometimes the generated password in KeePass2 is the error message itself.

Thanks for the report.

The plugin does not get any indication it's creating a password on the Preview tab vs the real Password field. So my options are:

  • Return an empty password when I can't find one - not a big fan because it's not clear what went wrong.
  • Increase the number of times the generator tries for a password before giving up - it's currently 1000. Changing to 10,000 would make your case happen 1/10 as often. Which is better, but not a real fix.
  • Ask you to increase your length criteria - 24 characters should work much better! The longer the better.
