Also, it only seems to show "Strong password" if any of these characters is used: !@#$%^&*, and not other special characters.

How large is the file a password is stored on? Can't be more than a few kB. You could probably store the plaintext passwords of literally every Facebook account on one reasonably sized hard disk. There's no reason we couldn't use 500-character passwords if we wanted. A handful of my passwords are over 1,000 characters.

I'd reckon extreme length is much more effective for security than special characters. I'd reckon

is significantly more secure than any password 8 characters in length for any aspiring flautist.
