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 once had to change a password every 30 days.

    And it couldn’t be a password I’d used before. Along with ridiculous requirements (but not as ridiculous as the 30 day thing).

    You’d think it was a password to get into the NSA’s database or something.

    Nope, just a (not very) random website.
