Seems like this technique could be easily bruteforced by a dictionary attack, despite being a longer number of characters.

Personally (I'm no expert) I use a password manager. Most of my passwords are 128 characters (longer than four average words) that also use special characters, numbers, upper and lower case characters. Using a physical key such as a #Yubikey seems a better way, too.

I love #XKCD, but the advice in this strip seems kinda out of date.

I like the ones that try to be secure by making sure I use exactly 8 characters, with at least one number and one capital and one symbol. Great. Now I can't remember it and it's super easy to brute force. Luckily those are few and far between but I still find that not being able to just use four words in pretty much any password field.
