Qué (quién) es Passphrase - definición
PASSWORDS-LIKE STRING MADE OF PHRASES
Pass-phrase; Pass phrase
passphrase
<operating system> A string of words and characters that you
type in to authenticate yourself. Passphrases differ from
passwords only in length. Passwords are usually short - six
to ten characters. Passphrases are usually much longer - up
to 100 characters or more. Their greater length makes
passphrases more secure. Modern passphrases were invented by
Sigmund N. Porter in 1982.
Phil Zimmermann's popular encryption program PGP, for
example, requires you to make up a passphrase that you then
must enter whenever you sign or decrypt messages.

Passphrase
A passphrase is a sequence of words or other text used to control access to a computer system, program or data. It is similar to a password in usage, but a passphrase is generally longer for added security.

A password, sometimes called a passcode (for example in Apple devices), is secret data, typically a string of characters, usually used to confirm a user's identity. Traditionally, passwords were expected to be memorized, but the large number of password-protected services that a typical individual accesses can make memorization of unique passwords for each service impractical.

Passphrase
A passphrase is a sequence of words or other text used to control access to a computer system, program or data. It is similar to a password in usage, but a passphrase is generally longer for added security. Passphrases are often used to control both access to, and the operation of, cryptographic programs and systems, especially those that derive an encryption key from a passphrase. The origin of the term is by analogy with password. The modern concept of passphrases is believed to have been invented by Sigmund N. Porter in 1982.
