I agree. I have a much, much harder time remembering complex passwords over longer ones. I can barely remember my SSN, and that's about the length for complex patterns of numbers/symbols for most people. Long strings for passwords should be the norm. I have no problems coming up with 30-50 char long passwords from scenes in my favorite book, Alice in Wonderland. They aren't ever going to be cracked by a dictionary, they aren't direct quotes, aren't all the same case, and are unique. (It's much easier to remember a long string based on each site than it is a random jumble of letters). I eagerly await the day my bank lets me use longer passwords... Before anyone suggests a password management tool, I inherently distrust them. They are a single point of failure.
