Nowadays, most people use password managers (hopefully). However, there are still some passwords that you need to memorize, like master password (for a password manager), phone lock, wifi password, etc.
Security wise, can passphrase reach the strength of a good password without getting so long that it defeats the purpose of even using it?
I found it amusing when the security team in my company sent me parts of my password in plaintext saying it was insecure (because it didn’t have special characters in it) and recommended I use a password manager
The account is used for the ancient VPN software and all of our ssh management tools
And windows login if you’re using windows.
Yeah good luck using a randomly generated password that you have to type in multiple times everyday
If you’re using one password for all those things, you’re doing it wrong. Even if the passphrases you pick are easy to remember and type, they should be distinct.
If it’s one “account” then it likely has only one password.
That’s SSO for you
