As if rcon passwords matter that much ;)
If we talk generally about passwords, then you are correct.

Any hacker or cryptologist will disagree with this. As you go up in length
for passwords they are less secure using just letters and numbers, than
using symbols in addition. A case insensitive compilation of a-z, A-Z, and
0-9 contains 62 symbol counts, while all of the American standard code for
information interchange characters result in a symbol count of 94. An
attacker has to generate approximately 50% of the possible combinations to
achieve success; if the possible combinations (enhanced by symbol counts)
are increased, it will take the attacker longer and be more difficult for
them to crack the password.

Any password such as S5Df2lf5F0skj4On or Fs3Kl89Gh57kLG was secure as
it can be, without any extra marks like @,%,& etc. Also it does not help
to have a good password if that is leaking from the server itself all
the time to the hostile attackers so first of all, keep the server
secured and run plugins to prevent malicious exploits. Just keep that in
mind.

Just an FYI, the server does not like some of the passwords with
characters
when set in the commandline. Even with quotes... Well from TF2 in my
experience. Specifically the @ symbol.

Use a password generator for strong passwords.
Search for "PC Tools Password Utilities" in your favorite search website
for
example-
I'm using passwords with puncation, mixed case. non-repeating chars,
numbers
with 8 to 32
chars.
If you can't memorise the passwords, youse the old method, biro/pencil a
sheet of paper! ;)
