Password strength is determined by bits of entropy, not by what characters the password contains! The presence or absence of letters and symbols in the password only tells you how many bits each character is worth.
I swear, if I visit another site that claims "sdjia82*" is a strong password (
21.7 bits) but "lentilsoqkjanbuzzhornwkshqjzppdiwkokwel" (
110.9 bits) is a weak password...
