passphrases that you can memorise but that even the nsa cant guess

Quote:
In other words, if an attacker knows that you are using a seven-word Diceware passphrase, and they pick seven random words from the Diceware word list to guess, there is a one in 1,719,070,799,748,422,591,028,658,176 chance that theyll pick your passphrase each try.

At one trillion guesses per second per Edward Snowdens January 2013 warning it would take an average of 27 million years to guess this passphrase.
