A passphrase is a kind of password that consists of several words. There is no fundamental difference between a passphrase and a password; a passphrase is expected to be longer. For generic questions about the generation, storage, usage, verification, etc. of passwords, use the tag passwords. Use the tag passphrases for questions that are specifically about multiple-word passwords.
