I believe the poster upthread already considered only restricted characters (upper + lower + digits), so the difficulty they stated is what remains after your analysis.

Nice platitude, but this is simply not true.
- nitin_flanker 9y agoRightly said. Even after we narrow down all the possibilities, there are still some common symbols that usually get used in passwords (%, $, @, etc.)
- lightedman 9y ago"Nice platitude, but this is simply not true." You got an example of anything man has made that man has not broken? "I believe the poster upthread already considered only restricted characters (upper + lower + digits), so the difficulty they stated is what remains after your analysis." No it's not, because they didn't think of things like password truncation (which my bank annoyingly does) and various other things. I tested it. It took me almost an hour to crack my chosen mixed-character + symbol 15 character password with a GTX970 implementing the few rules I stated above. Howsecureismypassword.net says it would take a computer 16 BILLION years to crack. My point very firmly stands.
