I heard Password managers like Bitwarden do a great job at generating good passwords.
But rather don’t use such complex passwords as passphrases 🚫

Yes, for master passwords that you actually have to memorize, fewer random words are sufficient. Also because there are other methods against brute force hacking, for example, built-in entry counts, haptic interfaces, physical 2fa sticks.
I'm using Bitwarden self hosted on my own server (Start9). Set up account for my wife and kids as well, pretty easy once you get it going.
This is my dream rn 🫡 Hope I can earn enough fiat for a start9 pro by the end of the summer.
Well you can install Start9 OS on any old laptop that you have too, and it's cheaper !
Old workstations are great too. Lenovo Thinkstation Tiny models are a nice size. I used to put a ton of these in businesses, they are solid performers. Currently using an HP as my Umbrel node.
Yep this is what I did got an old Dell Latitude laptop and upgraded the ram and SSD and flashed Start9 OD. Cost me maybe €120.
How big of an ssd would one need?

This is what i plan to do. Already have an old mini pc. Just need to save some funds to get a big enough harddrive 💪

If you are doing Start9 here is the list of known good DIY hardware. If I was you I would get an SSD and at least 8gb ram.
