Hi! Please don't forget that the passphrase is only used to protect the secret key. It is a last resort protection mechanism. If someone was able to get your secret key you are better off to revoke the key and consider it compromised. The passphrase gives you some time to get the word (i.e. the revocation) spread. Don't rely on the passphrase.
There is one exception: When using the -c mode, only the passphrases protects the data and in nthis case you should really make sure that it is a good passphrase.
