Absolutely!

My example would be better with  even modest changes, such as
"cha$nneL-40+minuX-2", but yours is tougher than that.    To go further, 
one can add accented characters or foreign alphabet letters.  (Though 
with the foreign alphabets the password may not be usable on some phones.)

Thanks.
