Well yes, but now that you get feedback while you type, it's much easier to have a longer password, because typos are much easier to spot and fix.
I generally use a (unique) 50-ish character passphrase anywhere I need to actually type it myself (and 64-character completely random ones elsewhere) and before this change, the passwords on my linux machines were shorter than that because it was impossible to spot/fix typos.
