## dmezzullo 3 years ago I have a question u for all the fellow openstudiers, If i were to have my password as a long drawn out good for nothing password would there be the same possiblity of a chance of my account getting hacked as if i had a short stupid little password?

If it is a short password, then brute force will definitely catch it. Just to tell you how many eight-letter alphanumeric passwords are there, the number is $$2.8211099\cdot 10^{12}$$.

However, a simple desktop brute force will not be able to catch your password in a trillion years if it's something like twenty characters that don't have a dictionary word.
