+  <title>Passwords and passphrases</title>
+
+  <p>Passwords and passphrases are used to secure your secret keys. They
+  should be known only to you and must be easy to remember. While a password
+  usually contains 8-10 characters, a passphrase is a long sequence of words
+  with numbers and special characters inserted in between. It can be thought of
+  as a longer password. Since passphrases are longer in size they are less
+  easy to guess when chosen carefully.</p>
+
+  <list>
+    <title>A good passphrase or password:</title>
+      <item>
+       <p>Should be reasonably long. A password having 8-10 characters and a
+       passphrase having 15-25 characters are reasonably strong.</p>
+      </item>
+      <item>
+       <p>Should not contain phrases from popular quotes, books or movies.
+       For example, "Why so serious?" or "Curiouser and curiouser" are not
+       good passphrases.</p>
+      </item>
+      <item>
+       <p>Should contain a few numbers and special characters, like a
+       significant date in your life or a family member's birth date.</p>
+      </item>
+      <item>
+       <p>Should not contain personal details, like your username or date of
+       birth, that are known to everyone.</p>
+      </item>
+  </list>
+
+  <note style="tip">
+    <p>It is better to use a passphrase rather than a password to secure your
+    secret keys. There is no limit on the length of a passphrase in
+    <app>Passwords and Keys</app>.</p>
