Looks like a good password except that you posted it.  Mine is 24 characters
long and not random if you know the pattern that made it.  My wife hasn't
been able to type it in even if it is written down for her to type in.

 I read somewhere that someone thought that a good and well managed password was way better than 2FA or 3FA since those, together with modern password reset policies, leave too many gaps.

I've tried, without success, to get password resets disabled on things like bank account online access.
