Hey, guys, this question has been bogging me for a

while and I've never found a satisfactory answer: How strong should I make the root password on my personal machines?

I mean, I'm well aware of password strength in cryptography, generally try to follow best practices on everything (correct horse battery staple, password managers, public key auth, OTP and stuff). But for my root password..what is the threat model? Any good articles to read up on? How strong are your root passwords?

it's hashed with bcrypt so any length should do.. personally I maintain those passwords in my password manager and make them 64 characters long
