I used a long and supercomplicated password for one of my accounts that i access intermittently. Why I have it is a long story, but I only log into it once or twice a month to check if there is something that needs my attention.

Usually the login is in incognito, guest mode, and even from different locations and machines. Google asks for a second factor (i dont have it on for my accounts) like phone verification for my usual accounts (not so complicated password) but not for the one with complex password. So I think the level of extra steps/security is linked with how complex your password is. Not so sure if this is a good thing or bad. But, I hope they should continue basing their security measures based on the security measures you take.

I asked LastPass to generate me a long and complicated password for a new Office 365 account only to have it rejected as too long because it was over 16 characters. Sigh.

It's probably the switching of devices that raises the level of security.
