A comment on The “Chad” bug. Parent comment
8 random upper/lower/digit/symbol characters are equal to 9 random mixed-case letters. Not 16.
Their cutoffs for different mixes are 8, 12, 16, 20. Realistic cutoffs would look more like 10, 11, 11, 14.
Even worse, they encourage counting the individual letters in words. Never do that. Random words are only as good as two random characters.
