That's my point. Password is 29 characters strong so even without special characters or numbers a good password. And yes length makes a bigger difference then different characters used.

Different character enforcement helps reduce the risk of simple dictionary attacks. Even the most common letter replacements multiply the complexity. But nothing beats a long randomized password with 2fa.
