- Replace "Passphrase/Passphrasen" with "Passwort/Passwörter"
I don't like the word "Passphrase". It sounds strange in German and the 
meaning of "Phrase" is quiet negative. The normal word would be "Passwort"

The English term 'passphrase' has the connotation of 'long password 
consisting of more than one word'.
Does the German 'passwort' have that extended meaning - or does it imply a 
short (eg single word) string?

(PS: Lotus Notes crashed when I first tried to send this - I hope this is 
not a resend, but apologize if it is.)
