A phrase is better:
unlucky friendly monkey got raped by feral donkeys the monkey ran away from donkeys led astray
It’s not very different from a sequence of 13 symbols, but there are many more words in English lexicon than symbols in ASCII plus 10, and the password becomes easier to memorize.
This is also an adaptation of a joke from a Russian cyberpunk novel, one of the last good things by its author, called “Labyrinth of reflections”. It’s still very good BTW.
One my friend has a very good taste in books and poetry, but when you talk to him, you wouldn’t think that. He spews bullshit about “patriotism”, alternative history, “anti-male laws” and such, believes that he can feel energies, and the only way to notice there’s something much better buried underneath is to talk about random life events for long, not trying to fix on anything in particular or reason logically. Yet every book he’s advised has been precious to me.

Phrases or words are good, but they should be random - not from known passages in poems, books movies etc, at least not without significant alteration.

Obviously, my point was that remembering a word is easier than remembering a letter.
