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 an open source password manager and long random passwords for most things.
my master password is a long phrase though, as well as any I have to type personally sometimes. passphrases are so much easier to type as well
