Hi Christian,

> I see. How long should the passphrase ideally be?

See diceware.com about choosing really strong passwords. Long phrases or 
sentences do not really cut it. A ten word diceware phrase puts you in the 
128+ bits of entropy range, throw in some extra special characters for good 
measure and you will be in the 30 char password length range. 

Best regards,
