kinna interesting - to me anyway - don't really know how accurate this is - maybe some will comment
from a tech site - how long would it take for a computer to crack your password:
8 characters password
Lowercase letters only__________ instantly
+ 1 uppercase letter________ half an hour
+ 1 number ________________one hour
+ 1 special symbol_________ one day
12 characters password
Lowercase letters only_____ several weeks
+ 1 uppercase letter________ 5 years
+ 1 number___________________2 thousand years
+ 1 special symbol___________ _63 thousand years
my comment:
re passwords:
many sites now require one "special" character such as "&"
prolly just about everybody puts in just one "special" character
if you put in 2 or 3 it might be much harder to crack -
I tend to think a computer might not search for more than one "special" character
