That’s great if you only have a couple of online accounts, but get past a few dozen and you’re toast. I don’t know about you, but I sure can’t remember 50+ unique pass phrases. However, I can remember the one for my password manager, which has 30+ random character passwords for all my accounts.
Passphrases are easier when you need to enter the password on a system that isn’t logged into your vault, even if they are longer. I usually default to 3 word passphrase + random number at the end of a word + random special character in the middle of a word.
