Here is an example (no, not one I am using) of what a password of mine may look like:

And no, it is not hard to remember at all.
I use offline, non-caching Base64 coders.

Also wanted to test linking a Mastodon post of mine to my Lemmy account.
If anything bungles up, sorry in advance!
Passphrases are as secure as passwords, and more resistant to brute-force attacks, also very easy to remember. Add symbols and numbers, and you’ve got yourself a strong way to protect your account.
Realtively, yes. But I myself like a 16 symbol or longer cryptic password because in the end when I have remembered it it takes less time to put in and has the same protection as a longer passphrase. (Not against brute force I am aware).

They take so damn long to put in though
Yes, but you only really need one (the one that unlocks your password manager) and you’ll quickly learn to type that relatively fast.
