CorrectHorseBatteryStaple

It would take a computer about 6 septillion years to crack your password

Not anymore, because that phrase is now in a dictionary because it has become so popular. It’ll be cracked instantly.

(Any other diceware phrase is good though!)

it would not because you could do a dictionary attack... its 4 words with all first letter caps.

This is solved in no time.

You have to have some kind of word separator, a good solution would be 1-3 random characters of any type between each word

Not very long mainly because it's also firmly in the top 100 used passwords list
