Correct horse battery staple.

Of course there's an xkcd for that:-)

I've used this website in the past to generate passwords. It is based on this xkcd comic.

Most FOSS password managers will also do it, like KeePass.

I don't use KeePass anymore, but from this screenshot and the documentation I believe that it does not generate passphrases as defined by this xkcd comic.

I've configured this for KeePassXC iirc, but you're right, the default config does not generate XKCD passwords. Just saying it's not impossible.

Bitwarden does this out of the box.

Just adding if someone reading wants to use passphrase generation that's built in.
