I'm curious to know how strong people make their passwords these days. What's typical for you? I'll go first.

For important things, it's 20+ characters and if that's not possible, then the maximum supported length. This includes passwords that I memorize.

For just the standard accounts, usually 12 characters. But I'm probably going to crank that up just for funsies.

It's just annoying to type in 32 characters of complete line noise in those rare circumstances where I have to do so for some reasons.

Usually I'm generating 20+ complex characters generated by a password manager. How does that rate?

Exceptionally well. Then again, I'm sure there's some selection bias in who responds. 😄
