A passphrase is much longer than a password, and therefor provides more enthropy, even when it’s completely mnemonic.

You should store it in an encrypted database with a password manager. But you also have to secure this database - with either a password or passphrase. And do not forget about a 2nd factor, like a key which you have to store somewhere. Maybe encrypt that one, too.

No matter how many steps of security do have: There will be a master password/passphrase, and you shouldn’t write it down in clear text! So better find a way (some kind of secret algorithm, stored in your brain) to reproduce your master pass.
