We consider generating passwords using dice, inspired by Diceware. However, unlike Diceware, we generate short, non-memorable passwords, intended for use with a password manager.
A-Z a-z 0-9 and two punctuation give 64 characters, suitable for 2 throws of a d8 (octahedron) die, looking up the letter in a compact table, in contrast to Diceware's very long lists. The choice of the 2 punctuation characters depends on what punctuation is permitted for that site.
A d20 labeled with the 20 most common initial letters. d24 and d30 exist as Catalan solids. For d30, the 4 extra faces could be reroll, common letters (maybe vowels?), numbers, or punctuation. Previously, on how to turn a random string into a sentence.
