Are you using passphrases? Is it worth it? (discuss.tchncs.de)

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?

How do you log in to your computer though?

Okay, I didn't even think of that one, but yeah, I have two passwords. One logs me into the computer, and one logs me into my password manager.
