Passphrase
Updated: 07/06/2021 by Computer Hope
Like a password, a passphrase or security key is a secret phrase that helps protect accounts, files, folders, and other confidential information. Passphrases may contain spaces, are several words and contain numeric characters and can be up to 100 characters in length. Because of the length of most passphrases, they are considered safer than passwords. For example, "2 be or not 2 be, that is the question." is a good example of a passphrase.
