Mnemonic PasswordsWhen you click "Make mnemonic" on the create tab, it will create a password that is easy to remember. A Mnemonic password is a random string of text that looks and feels like a real word because of the placement of vowels and consonants; this it makes it much easier to remember.
Setting HandsOn the create tab you can select which hand you want the password to be built for. If you select "Left hand" it will produce a password that is restricted to only left hand characters on the standard english QWERTY keyboard.
Character Options
Click on the "Characters" tab to set options on the characters used in your password.
Character weight is how often a character from that set is used in the password. If you set Numbers to have a higher weight than Letters, the password would use more numbers than letter.
