The longer the password, the bigger its entropy. Mathematically, guessing the password <em>sallysallysally</em> will take longer computing time than <em>sally.</em> Websites or apps that ask for 8-16 character passwords should not be asking for a max character limit of passwords. Instead they should encourage users to create long passwords. Also, do not restrict the user to only use certain special characters - let them use all of them.</p>
