Surprisingly long? Or surprisingly short? What did you think?
If a program tries to solve a 14-character password using numbers, upper and lowercase letters, symbols (say FwgP34-Gs/42ig), it will do it in 200 million years!
If it's 6 characters long, it will take me 5 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)".
