If you're referring to https://xkcd.com/936/ I believe Diceware predates that comic by over 15 years. Reinhold's page has a copyright going back to 1995; the XKCD comic first appears in the Internet archive in 2011. Even the domain xkcd.com wasn't registered until 2003, roughly coinciding with the Internet Archive's first capture of Reinhold's page at its current URL. The XKCD comic isn't bad, but it completely ignores the issue of just _how_ the constituent words in the passphrase are chosen. Diceware _explicitly_ addresses that. -- Michael Kjörling 🔗 https://michael.kjorling.se “Remember when, on the Internet, nobody cared that you were a dog?”
