Description
add feature to generate passphrases for share links instead of random passwords. Strong phrases can be used even with a looser policy, since they are generated from rememberable and typable words and are easier to remember while increasing security.
Style: Word-Word-Word3-Word

Research direction
Start by reviewing the open pull request #562 and the existing password-generation entry point; the issue does not name specific files or tests. The work is done when share links use generated passphrases in the stated Word-Word-Word3-Word style while preserving the intended password-policy and security behavior.
