Password vs Passphrase

Passwords are typically short and complex strings, while passphrases are longer sequences of words. Both have strengths and weaknesses, but passphrases can often be easier to remember and more secure when used correctly.

Comparison

• Password: Shorter, may include symbols and numbers
• Passphrase: Longer, more natural to remember (e.g., "CorrectHorseBatteryStaple")

Both can be strong if generated randomly. Use HashMyPass to try both formats and choose what suits you best.
