The article is from Bitwarden, which is a password manager - using them you don't need to remember individual passwords (or type them, normally).
Bitwarden does have an option to use passphrases, I just tried it and it gave me washtub-moocher-dominoes.
I use auto generated passphrases. It's mostly for the occasions where I need to give the password to someone, without logging into my bitwarden account, on the device. It's a lot easier, for comparable levels of security.
Not really, you have a better chance if you use a completely random set of words. I remember hearing of someone getting their bitcoin stolen from their wallet despite their password being from an obscure Afrikaans poem.
Diceware's a really good tool for this. https://www.eff.org/dice. There are also websites to generate one for you instead of rolling actual dice.
But it's only good for passphrases. You're better off generating a complex password since you can store it in bitwarden.
Precisely why I salted it.
I have to look into password salting. I don't use it but it's interesting. Do you use a unique salt for each password or the same one for all?
Always something a bit unique, can't make it predictable if someone managed to dump a list of em. This also isn't the formula I used just an example. Random words is also better if your memory is decent, they can even be your salt.
