    but I was trying to imply, in a properly generated password, 32 digits long is very secure.

    I understand, and I think you make a valid point as far as the discussion is concerned.

    It’s unfortunately still a little more complicated than that, though.

    Like I said, there’s more to a password than length and symbol type.

    Even something like cF*+@aXbIdFHje2vZiU-1 is less secure than if it were generated by a good PRNG.

    D0@ndro!dsDr@3@m0f3l3ctr!cSh33p? is also insecure, though it might have been considered secure 4-5 years ago.

    You see what I’m saying?

    Then of course there’s hash algorithms and how those are used to authenticate the passwords themselves, etc.
