    but I would guess a random 17 char password might be safer than a 5 phrases password

    And you would be very wrong about that. A 5 phrase password has entropy. “finance-caffeine-utopia-redress-unseen” is 28 characters. If you add in a different symbol between the words and add a number somewhere, this password becomes incredibly difficult to brute force.

    I’ll let xkcd explain it better.

      Youre right,different separators, numbers and even capital letters change my theory alot
