Detailed explanation-1: -While 14 to 16 random characters will give you great security, more characters never hurts. However, some websites place limits on password length, so you may need to adjust accordingly.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cybersecurity experts prefer words or paraphrases instead of using random letters for passwords because randomly generated passwords are difficult to remember, and there is a high probability that users will not be able to remember them for a long time.

Detailed explanation-3: -Although using a password that contains only dictionary words is not recommended, it is still common and can get hacked easily. But if users were to use only dictionary words in a passphrase, they would stay safe from this type of attack. Most dictionary passwords contain one or two words.
