I used to make them quite long until I was asked to confirm my identity over the phone using one once hahaha.
Now they’re max 10 alphanumeric characters and all lower case but still random.

I think it makes it even better when I have to read out my 30 character alphanumeric first girlfriend’s dog’s birth town’s name over the phone… they’re certainly gonna know it’s me calling lol
