    A 16-digit password comprised of randomly generated upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers and symbols is virtually impossible to crack. Plus, it's not like a brute force attack on a site like this is even practical. After a certain number of attempts, the account will be locked.

    Quoted from Nokoro:

    It's also impossible to remember. And, a 32-40 character sentence of common words, believe it or not, is much more difficult to crack than a shorter random string of letters, numbers and symbols.

    No matter how long and secure your password is, it's still best to avoid using the same password on more than one site. That's why I highly recommend using a password manager. It allows unique and secure passwords for every site, and it eliminates the need for you to remember them.
