Surprisingly long? Or surprisingly short? What did you think?
If a program tries to solve a 14-character password using uppercase and lowercase letters (say ageKwFtowaFqmp), it will do it in 800 thousand years!
If it's 7 characters long, it will take me 25 seconds to solve it! You can also see the importance of the number of characters in setting up a password...
The seconds are taken from "Rebbit,[OC] I hope you find this one more beautiful than the last - updated table on time to brute force passwords,(accessed 2021/9/29)".
