A 100-character password can still fall fast if the implementation behind it is wrong — length is not the same as strength.

The musl Linux brute-force-to-root attack shows how a password-handling flaw can undo what a long password promises. Once an attacker reaches the brute-force stage, the bounds are set by how the system stores and checks credentials, not by the character count. Patching the implementation matters more than adding one more character.
