 +If you do not have a D20 or printed the whole list, you can opt for tools that auto generate the password. However, as said before, you should prefer to do it locally. This [[https://github.com/Verryx-02/Diceware_generator| piece of code]] can do it for you, and it seems to be safe: clone the repository (if you know how to do it) or just download the code as a zip folder by clicking on "Code"/"Download Zip". Then extract the folder, and open the file "dicewareGenerator.html". This will normally open your favourite browser, but with a local file: this way, you are not connected to the internet. Then click on browse, and select the eff long wordlist in the extracted repository. You can then generate a 6 words password (as said, no need of capital letters, numbers, special characters or anything).
  
 This is now your passphrase. Important note: do not reject a word because you do not like it, take what the dices are giving you. At the beginning, I would suggest you write it down to a paper and set it up as a passphrase that you will use everyday, like you master passphrase for Full disk encryption, or your password manager, or Thunderbird for example.  This is now your passphrase.
