      The article is from Bitwarden, which is a password manager - using them you don’t need to remember individual passwords (or type them, normally).

      Bitwarden does have an option to use passphrases, I just tried it and it gave me washtub-moocher-dominoes.

        I use auto generated passphrases. It’s mostly for the occasions where I need to give the password to someone, without logging into my bitwarden account, on the device. It’s a lot easier, for comparable levels of security.

        Not really, you have a better chance if you use a completely random set of words. I remember hearing of someone getting their bitcoin stolen from their wallet despite their password being from an obscure Afrikaans poem.

        Precisely why I salted it.

            Always something a bit unique, can’t make it predictable if someone managed to dump a list of em. This also isn’t the formula I used just an example. Random words is also better if your memory is decent, they can even be your salt.

      I switched to using word phrases after having to type in these Qjdu37hYdu4sjdh&) |] >[vry monstrosities or communicate them to someone else one too many times.
