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 short passphrase that I made up that only I and my husband know. It consists of numbers, a special character, a word, and more numbers.
Then whatever I’m logging in to, my password consists of something relevant to the thing, with my passphrase appended to it.
