I just wrote a mini rust script (https://github.com/rtaycher/make_password) to spit out 5 random dictionary words for secure passwords I need to share. Everything else gets auto generated by keepass, i should probably just figure out how to write a keepass plugin

Have you considered using the EFF's diceware wordlist? It's designed for this. https://www.eff.org/files/2016/07/18/eff_large_wordlist.txt

1Password allows you to generate word based passswords instead of random strings. I do this because it’s much easier to type manually if I’m logging into a system where I can’t copy paste from 1P

KeepassXC already has this feature [1][2]. It can also store and generate OTP codes and works with YubiKeys (similar to Bitwarden Premium).

There's also a popular Python script called xkcdpass [3] which does the same from the command-line.
