That's why they using salted hashes for passwords in /etc/shadow for the
last 15 years at least - and it's considered an adequate protection

Besides, if the hashing algorithm is that bad that it can be cracked by
Rainbow Tables (the old Unix crypt, for instance) - the password length
is hardly relevant.
