While you're correct mathematically, I still think it's a good habit to give zero information about your password. If you attempt to estimate the information leakage with every "hint", sooner or later you'll slip up.

My view is your secrets should be secure even if the attacker knows everything about how they are generated and used.
For example:
My password is 8192 characters long, leveraging only the ASCII character set (except \n\r\t\0)
It is changed every 28days at 11:05am
It is only used on exactly 1 website and the username on that website is also only used on that website and randomly generated as well.
Good luck (Tell me how and where I can make this stronger)

Make it 8193 characters long, change it every 27 days at 11:04am, but most importantly: use it on exactly 0 websites.
Good luck

Telling someone your password is 8 characters long and memorable vs telling them it is 8192 characters long and unrecallable are two entirely different things.

This is a very hilarious post. Bravo, sir, or brava, madam. (Revealing your gender would likely be a security risk - if you leave that unspecified it doubles the space of possibilities!) I don't know what joyless types would downvote you.
