Why can&#8217;t it be a little of both? Roger is arguing that complexity doesn&#8217;t really matter if the length is suffient. Others counter that using the characters Roger says most people don&#8217;t use is suffient. What seems to be missing is that people don&#8217;t use long passwords or complex passwords.
