18 random characters out of 36 is equivalent to ~93 bits of entropy[1]- that's pretty conservative indeed. I would aim for 70 bits (safely north of 64 bits) -

I would aim for 70 bits (safely north of 64 bits) - the paranoid for 96..128 bits.
[1] 18*log2(36) ~ 93
- kadoban 4y agoYeah that sounds safe, I did end up even more paranoid than I intended.
