How to Use This Calculator
  1. Set the password length in characters.
  2. Select the character types used: uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and/or symbols.
  3. Review password entropy in bits -- aim for 72+ bits for most accounts, 120+ for high-security.
  4. Check the equivalent brute-force time in years at modern cracking speeds.
  5. Use these benchmarks to set minimum password requirements in your security policy.
