These tables circulating on the internet of brute force password hacks are totally incorrect.

These tables only work for passwords generated randomly by computers or applications such as KeePassXC, if the password is generated by a human they are useless, since humans are predictable and when a password is hacked by brute force different types of dictionaries are used which substantially shortens the hacking time.

If you want to measure well the entropy of your password with an algorithm that takes into account dictionary attacks and predictive attacks use the KeepassXC calculator.

Recommendation: Never use human generated passwords.

I generated a Keepass password the other day and it was rejected by the bank site for being too long!

Many banks use a 6-digit pin number, which is very indicative of how concerned they are about the security of their customers.

The banking system is the most dishonest industry on the planet.

Security clueless on the front end for sure. I asked the local bank teller to show me how the app worked with the different reference numbers they had given me. They were very patient, as was I, until it came to the password reset step. I was literally wtf are you kidding me when they told me to put in a password. You know, something like Juanmadrid2024.
