I read a rather good article from some at Mickey$oft about security. He suggested that you give up on the use of passwords altogether. Instead you should use a passphrase. Easy for you to remember, but at 30 or 40 characters, almost impossible to hack.
Isn't a passphrase just a very long password? What am I missing here?

which isn't very long and certainly not susceptible to a dictionary attack.
