You use 200 character passwords? I'm happy with 12.

Obviously the longer the maximum available length the better but it does assume the host computer always has the password manager installed. I'd shudder to think how such a long password would be entered otherwise.
Once you get up to a threshold like 128 bits there's no real benefit in going further. So 22 alphanumeric characters is 'good enough for anyone'.
