Probably a good idea to repeat at least one character.

Depends on what the password is for. If it can be brute forced offline then you’ll need a lot more than one character to make any difference.

I think you missed my point. If you use a key more than once, heat can't be used to figure out the first time that key was pressed. Only the second press of it can be deduced.

Sure but you reduce the search space considerably anyway.

Yeah, and just use lots of characters. And at least one use of the shift key :)
