My wife has a Pixel 6 Android.

Anyone know -

Max number of characters allowed?

Which special characters or punctuation are allowed?

Right now, she is using only four numbers for a password. That would
take less than a second to hack for someone who knows what they are
doing with one of those software programs for hacking.

I've looked all around the Web and can't find squat regarding this
info.

No, because every time you enter a wrong password it takes longer
before you can try another one.

You confuse "device with a password you can try" with "website has
leaked hashed passwords and now software is used to bruteforce simple
passwords against those known hashes". That is a completely different
situation.
