My keepass password is 32-characters long. It's just a phrase that
helps me remember my wedding anniversary (:). Keepass also has a
cellphone app, and one nice feature on it is, once you've unlocked the
database, then on subsequent (frequent) visits to the app, it only
requires the last-three characters of the password, so it's easy to open
quickly.

I know this is veering off topic. My son just wrapped up his Bachelor's
in Information Technology with a Cybersecurity focus. In one of the
ybersecurity courses, we messed around on a project together. Kali Linux
has some password cracking tools. We created a KeePass file with
passwords and stored it on a thumb drive. Pointed the password cracker
at it. It first did a dictionary attack, then started hashing passwords.
First we set a pretty secure password and the password tool came back
and told us how many years it would take to crack the password. Cool.
Then we set a very stupid password the shows up in the dictionary. It
was cracked in less than an hour.
So - KeePass is slick. But chose a really secure password. Don't chose a
password that would show up in a password dictionary. And don't pick a
short, simple password. A hacker could point a 'Nix machine with
multiple GPUs at it and get in.

BTW, who remembers a 1000 character password anyway! I know, use a
password manager -- but then you have to trust that it is secure.
