Nowadays, most people use password managers (hopefully). However, there are still some passwords that you need to memorize, like master password (for a password manager), phone lock, wifi password, etc.

Security wise, can passphrase reach the strength of a good password without getting so long that it defeats the purpose of even using it?

    I use a passphrase in order to get into my password manager, but that’s it. Because my password manager handles all the rest of them and makes it way more random than I could ever dream of.

      Bitwarden can generate password phrases. Some other password managers too. In the occasion you have to type out your password a password phrase is a lot easier.

        Okay, I didn’t even think of that one, but yeah, I have two passwords. One logs me into the computer, and one logs me into my password manager.
