Great! This is the kind of answer I’ve been looking for. Thank you.

I guess my question is why so? How vulnerable are my devices with a compromised device on the network?

No biometrics! Just wanted to clarify the only difficulties related to typing my password are its length

Agreed - the message I was trying to convey is that I use a very secure password, which sacrifices convenience for security - is this necessary though? I have no concerns related to memorising or particular difficulties typing it out as it follows a passphrase structure for the most part.
