 The following commands will generate a strong[^2] passphrase while avoiding certain similar-looking characters:

+To change the passphrase length, delimiting character or group sizes, export the respective variable(s) prior to running the passphrase generation command, for example:

 Generate another unique [Passphrase](#passphrase) (ideally different from the one used for the Certify key) to protect the encrypted volume:
 
 ```console

 This passphrase will also be used infrequently to access the Certify key and should be very strong.
