There is no simple answer to that question, since it depends on the character set and randomness of your choice. See these guidelines:

I would suggest a 6 character minimum length if you use random letters and numbers, or 12 characters in other cases. But it depends on how you create your password. For example, passwords such as "pass12345" are easy to guess.
If you use two-factor authentication you are much more secure. Someone would need to both hack your password
and get access to your mobile device containing the authentication generator.
