It’s easier for you to remember but it’s really long. Adding more characters to a password exponentially increases the potential combinations that a brute force attack would have to go through. If you search “how long to brute force password” you will see that adding just a few more characters to a password can add years and years to the time it would take to break in like that. Having a password you can memorize is also more secure because anyone who has access to your computer also has your password if it’s written down there.
