  That’s just recommended to emphasize length. If your password is as long as a passphrase it’s likely more secure (harder to remember though).

    But if the point is to remember it, then you should use the security from length of series of 5+ random words. It’s easier to remember, write down, and type. All great characteristics of a master passphrase.

      I don’t disagree, sorry if it sounded like I did.

      There’s just a theoretical weakness since the base word lists are usually public knowledge and bruteforcers could (and probably already have) optimize for that.

      The advantages of a passphrase outweigh though as you mentioned. An attacker would first need your repo anyway.

        I’m adding obscure memes and anime references to my passphrases. Good luck bruteforcing that
