Is it really safer? I mean when trying to bruteforce a password, one would have to make a guess whether it’s a passphrase or not. But if you decided to check for pass phrases, wouldn’t the one you posted be cracked in 5 times the amount of words in that dictionary? I’m not sure how large the vocabularies of the generators are, but I would guess a random 17 char password might be safer than a 5 phrases password?
Same, would never do it again
I could imagine google also gets some sort of snapshots to mitigate the risk that after their announcement everyone deletes/modifies their content… But who knows.
