Yes, and the master should be a paraphrase not a password.
That’s just recommended to emphasize length. If your password is as long as a passphrase it’s likely more secure (harder to remember though).
But if the point is to remember it, then you should use the security from length of series of 5+ random words. It’s easier to remember, write down, and type. All great characteristics of a master passphrase.
I don’t disagree, sorry if it sounded like I did.
There’s just a theoretical weakness since the base word lists are usually public knowledge and bruteforcers could (and probably already have) optimize for that.
The advantages of a passphrase outweigh though as you mentioned. An attacker would first need your repo anyway.
I’m adding obscure memes and anime references to my passphrases. Good luck bruteforcing that
Separating some of the words with random symbols also isn’t too hard to remember and no chance that can be bruteforced.
