passphrases
Memorable access codes
Passphrases are passwords composed of multiple words rather than a single string of characters: correct horse battery staple.
They're easier to remember than random character sequences but can be equally secure due to their length.
Security experts often recommend passphrases over traditional passwords because humans can recall meaningful word combinations more reliably than arbitrary strings of letters, numbers, and symbols.
