Hit 500 password guesses on my own lockout test and still didn't crack it

Honestly, I set up a trial to see how fast I could break into my own account using brute force, and after 500 tries my password held up fine. Ngl, I thought my simple phrase would get cracked in under 200 guesses, but the two-factor auth saved me. Do you think relying on 2FA is better than having a super complex password, or should I focus more on making the password itself harder?

Oh honey, that's not really brute force. 500 guesses is nothing for a real cracking attempt.
