      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.
