Should we start to transition from "Password" to "Passphrase" in UI texts #1810

Description

@peter021

General security advice has been updated as it turns out that users are terrible in creating and remembering pass-words. A better practise is to use pass-phrases. A set of unrelated words is easier to remember, easier to type and harder to brute force. We probably don't need code changes at this time, except maybe when generating passphrase suggestions when resetting passwords. Any and all processing of words or phrases needs to remain compatible with the current user configurations. Perhaps update to allow 128 character phrases? Perhaps the most important change should be UI texts or support texts, mouse over texts or the like? This needs to be soft nudging.
