>If your USB drives contain shorter than recommended passphrases (fewer than seven words), update immediately and change passwords.
The linked Tails security advisory[1] says:
>We recommend you change the passphrase of your Persistent Storage and other LUKS encrypted volumes unless you use a long passphrase of 5 random words or more.
When talking in terms of passphrases, using a memory hard hash like Argon2 over PBKDF2 will get you an advantage of less than a single word. The real magic is in the passphrase length and the randomness of the words.
