It is MORE SECURE than a complex passwords. It would take years to crack those private keys. Who would want to brute force a 2048bit key?
Passwords are less secure and can easily be bruteforced. No one would dare bruteforce a 2048bit key unless you're a very important person.

It is better to use ssh keys instead, or really complex password. When I use passwords I usually create them using some generator so it would be strong enough.

I already said that key auth is better. It's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than a complex password. A complex password is a lot easier to crack than a private key.
