Reading through What is the best way to inspire users to choose strong password?, I realized I have never used an interface where the primary login password system would use pass-phrases (and where the interface would be optimized for creating, entering, and maintaining them).
Sure, pass-phrases can often be used in existing password fields, but is that the ideal UI design? Can we do a better job of guiding users when this is the only (or just preferred) method, especially when creating? When entering the passphrases, should we consider showing the spaces in between the blocked out letters (a no-no in traditional password field, but might be worth the minor security tradeoff to help the user keep track of where they are in a long textfield)?
What are some model examples and/or recommended practices for UI's optimized for pass-phrases?
