How safe are your passwords?

This eye-opening chart illustrates the time required for a computer to crack passwords of varying complexity levels. For instance:

• An 8-character password composed of standard letters yields 209 billion combinations, which a computer can calculate instantly.
• Introducing one upper case letter to the password significantly increases the time for the computer to crack it, extending the duration to approximately 22 minutes.
• Employing a combination of upper and lower case letters, symbols, and numbers results in the most secure password configuration.
• For example, a 12-character password containing at least one upper case letter, one symbol, and one number would take approximately 34,000 years for a computer to crack.
