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?

      Best I can find,

      According to security.org survey data, in 2021, 22% of Americans said they used a password manager, but in 2023, the percentage increased to 34% with a further 10% of users saying they use a security passkey or other physical password device.

      So in the most generous interpretation of that, just over half of people are not doing anything secure.
