The diceware site actually has a fair amount of information on it. One technique diceware promotes is to insert a random character of your choosing:
For extra security without adding another word, insert one special character or digit chosen at random into your passphrase.
In practice, I use another system that generates 30+ character passwords for every site, and it’s quite rare that sites don’t accept those these days. So, for me, the practical solution is:
- Use diceware for ‘offline’ passwords (where you need to memorize them)
- Use something like Passwordmaker Pro for most online passwords (no memorization necessary)
- Use a password manager (I use pass) to store everything, and secure it with a Diceware password
That’s how I use the available tools for my everyday security needs.
