Long words doesen't really make it harder to crack... If you use a password like "ilikemysecurepassword" it would take me max 1 day, probably only 10-50minutes to crack it with rainbowtables or a good wordlist. You are much better of using for example "I#%Like!My#Sec/Passw"

That password is more complex .... but it still contains dictionary words.

Better to use a password like this: (64 characters, total random, and non-sense)

Only if you use the password for all of your other accounts and one of those sites gets hacked and they're stored in DB as plain text / md5 without salt you're still screwed.
Not the case for Nexus as they have proper hashing like mentioned in their last post as well but even on large sites you would be surprised how often this happens. Edited by Netsplite

I would run some anti-virus scan just to be sure, dll. can manifest on their own, without you having to do anything other than downloading the dll. file by accident. Edited by RiverNL
