> you're better off getting it to generate a 50+ character random password (including uppercase, lowercase, numbers and symbols).

Lol I wish. Almost all of the important sites I use, like various bills and loans, use terrible password schemes. One even, until recently, enforced an 8 character limit! I think they raised it to 16 iirc. Oy.

Hell, even the company I work for frequently fails my password generator settings. The arbitrary character requirements of my ~20 character password would sometimes not be satisfied when I was creating accounts in our dev system/etc. Which is annoying as hell, but I can't convince management, because our users (older) tend to use some of the worst passwords out there.. so I can understand where it's coming from.

Security & UX is hard.
