A well proven way to generate random 12 word list is to create a new wallet seed in [Electrum Wallet](https://electrum.org/#download).
To use Electrum boot [Tails](https://tails.boum.org/) (ideally offline) or [download and verify the wallet](https://electrum.org/#download) on an existing system.
Follow steps 1-5 in this [guide](https://bitcoinelectrum.com/creating-an-electrum-wallet/) to get the seed. The wallet file is not needed, only write down the words and store accordingly as the 12 words are to be used as a passphrase, encryption passphrase, cypher phrase or wallet unlock password. Do not reuse passphrases for more than one purpose and label the backups clearly.
