A random site that's quite useful regarding passwords.

Time Required to Exhaustively Search this Password's Space:
Online Attack Scenario:
(Assuming one thousand guesses per second) 2.01 billion centuries

Offline Fast Attack Scenario:
(Assuming one hundred billion guesses per second) 20.08 centuries

Massive Cracking Array Scenario:
(Assuming one hundred trillion guesses per second) 2.01 years


this is the results for my basic password that i use on my system log on, on sites i do transactions with it is far far stronger
or as the site states the passwords are very well padded ...

I'll settle for that. 8-)

I didn't enter my actual system password but a mathematical equivalent.

What really irks me when sites restrict the number of characters to something like 'between 6 and 12" - utter arse. :x

impressive, the equivalent of my system logon nets 900 centuries in a massive cracking scenario, but swapping two of the characters for a capital and a symbol ups it to 13.4 billion. i think i might start being a little more creative when making passwords :)

Mixed and numerals are nice but they're no substitute for passphrase length:
