# Generate age keys from passphrase ## Description This utility (age-gen-passphrase) generates secret and public keys (into stdout) from your entered passphrase or piped stdin Strong password highly recomended ## Password selection To keep entropy at at the same level of $\geq 2^{256}$ bits, as in private key of curve25519 (which is used in age encryption), you should use long password. Exact amount of required characters can be calculated by formula: $\lceil 256 / log_2(Nchars) \rceil$
