In password security, the longer the better. With a password manager, using more than 24 characters is simple. Unless, of course, the secure password is not accepted due to its length. (In this case, through STOVE.)

Possibly indicating cleartext storage of a limited field (which is an absolute no-go), or suboptimal or lacking security practices.

    Some people even suggest typing a longer password over a simpler one with more special characters. It’s harder to brute force.

      I thought the use vocabulary lookup tables effectively nullifies the entropy benefits, if everyone started using phrases as password

        Obligatory xkcd.

        I don’t know enough to say how accurate the numbers are, but the sentiment stands - if it’s a password you’re memorizing, longer password will probably be better.
