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.
![TIL that if you search "Password generator, [x] characters, [y] strength" at DuckDuckGo, it will generate a password for you.](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/31a5b1e1-4330-4a27-aa88-cc47a25acb05.jpeg){kind=link}
Ok but you should use passphrases. Better to type and remember in case you need to
There are instances where sites prevent copy-paste, or you are on another machine without your password manager available
