A passphrase is a collection of common words combined randomly into a phrase.
Compared to normal passwords, a passphrase is generally stronger and longer because it is more memorable than passwords thus reducing the need to write them down as well as making it almost impossible for attackers to crack.
What NOT to do when creating a password
Dictionary Words: Do not use words right out of the dictionary. If your passwords are meaningful, they are probably already hacked.
Pet Names: No doubt, you love your cat, and it is adorable to dedicate your password after it. But DON'T! Hackers can guess it easily. The same goes for people, places, and events directly linked to you.
Password Reuse: If you are forced to change your password, do not change it from “Utopian.Knight1” to “Utopian.Knight2”. Do it over and create a new one.
Adjacent Keyboard Strings: qwerty7894 is not a secure password. Do not use keyboard patterns in any form.
