Password Protection

How long does it take a hacker to crack a Password with 5 letters? Instantly.

If someone uses 4-11 numbers only, the hacker is able to crack the password: Immediately.

When someone uses 12-18 numbers only, the hacker can crack the password in less than six days.

When someone uses 4-6 characters utilizing lower, upper, numerical and symbol combined, any hacker can crack a password: Instantly.

If an individual chooses a combination of 12-18 upper-and-lower case letters, symbols, and numbers, security is enhanced by years > > a minimum of 226 years!

If you re-use a password on multiple sites, this will decrease the time it takes to crack your accounts on those sites down to 0, if a hacker is able to obtain your password for just one.
