Eh? I'm not sure I follow what you're getting at. Nobody said your
phrase had to be 8 characters long and the point is that you can easily remember a long (character count) password by having it be a short phrase, but it's hard to remember a long, complex password. You cannot compare a randomised password with a randomised passphrase, the passphrase is longer in terms of character count but easier to remember as it's just a couple of words. That's the point, correcthorsebatterystaple is a 26 character password, but good luck remembering a
randomised 26 character password. The difference is between short and complex vs Long and simple.
