Generate Readable Passphrases By Default in KeePass

By default, the Readable Passphrase Generator is an opt-in plugin. That is, you need to explicitly select it when generating a password in KeePass.

To generate readable passphrases by default in KeePass, you should overwrite the Automatically generated passwords for new entries profile.

  • In KeePass, Generate a new Password (Tools menu -> Generate Password)
  • Select Generate Using Custom Algorithm, and select the Readable Passphrase Generator
    • Optionally, configure any options for your default passphrase.
  • Click the Save Profile button (see screenshot below, as its easy to miss).
  • Select the (Automatically generated passwords for new entries) profile.
  • Cancel out of the Generate Password screen.

New entries in KeePass should now use the Readable Passphrase Generator by default.

Select Default Password Profile
