Interesting to see the linked list of the top 100,000 passwords from the Have I Been Pwned data set

Witchcraft! Get them!

For passwords i have to remember i use passphrases.

But for stored passwords? i like 35 characters. Most services accept it and doesn't seem to have a con.

And then there are those services that let you enter arbitrarily long passwords in the registration form but only save something like 16 characters.

I know about them but I haven't experienced it yet. Hope I never will though.

aQuickBrownFoxJumpedOverALazyDog$nuggle9 is far easier to remember and secure.

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.
