    Ok, fair, not all 32 digit passwords will be secure.

    11111111111111111111111111111111 is not secure, but I was trying to imply, in a properly generated password, 32 digits long is very secure.

      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.
