Ye Gods! How strong do you want it to be?

KeePassXC says that password has about 108 bits of entropy.  It

As noted by others, it's probably some bullshit "password complexity"
requirement that you include some additional character types.  I ordinarily
have KeePassXC generate passwords similar to what you were trying to use,
but with look-alike characters excluded (no I, l, 1, O, 0, etc.).  With a
length of 20 or more characters, you're nearly always going to get a
stronger password than some site that requires you to choose from all
available characters...and then imposes a password-length limit.  (The only
reason I can see for a length limit is that they're storing plaintext
passwords in their database, which is the textbook definition of "doing it
wrong.")


Maybe it's to prevent you from using such a long password that you
forget? Who knows.
