Not OP, but from what I've read, overall length is more important than complexity (special characters and stuff) when it comes to someone trying to crack it. So this one isn't too bad in that regard. But being able to remember a password is also important unless you're always going to be able to use a password manager to enter it for you. So in that respect it's not great.
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.
