You can totally use emojis as passwords. You can probably even make this a policy at your company.

Edit: I thought this was an obvious enough joke, but just to clear things up: Only do this if you hate your company and everyone working there.

Longer passwords make your passwords exponentially more secure, in terms of security bits. Length matters.

    True, and for most credentials I of course use password manager, but things like workstation password are still something I need to manually type out and for those 65 random characters aren't really practical. And for those I use things like 'HorseBattery69+' instead of 'SalainenSäläsänä69+' since while they (could be) equally long and complex the latter is pretty much impossible to type out if keyboard setting is something else than finnish (swedish works too I think).
