I have heard about the passphrase but do not understand how it works. Please explain me!. Thanks!

This is the ultimate key that you will be using if you want to access your lost wallet. No one can access your wallet without your pass key it's like a password for your vault or pin number for your ATM account. You will know more about passphrase by reading this link.

Thank you very much. I have tried to learn some knowledge about wallet passphrase. And I would like to ask further that there are currently online wallet sites that allow direct manipulation on wallet.dat?

Please be more specific on what "passphrase" you're referring to.

Though check out this link, as this might be the one you're looking for: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Passphrase_generation

I want to learned about Passphrase related to lock or unlock wallet.dat. Sorry for not clarifying my question.

Well it's actually the password you used when you encrypted your wallet file and that's pretty much it. It could be a random word/group of words/mnemonic and it entirely depends on you on what would that passphrase be. Your passphrase is like the 'master keys' needed in order to access the wallet and its contents, together with its balances and, well, totally full control of the wallet. It's a must to have such a strong passphrase in order to not get hacked by nefarious hackers around as it serves as another layer of protection for you and your money.
