What percentage of people do you think actually use 16 character passwords?

Probably pretty low.

I use 64 character passwords, or if there is a length limit, always the longest possible. That’s the beauty of using a password manager :)

One advantage about having memorized a bunch of poetry back in the day is I have a lot of secure long passphrases to hand

Aesop, my author, makes mention of two mice and they were sisters dear 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890

70 and little effort

I consider mine pretty long, and it's right around 30 characters.
