This seems remarkably unintuitive, but the math checks out. (26+10)⁶ = 2,176,782,336 1,450 minutes a day 2,176,782,336 / (1,450 * 60) = ~25,000 years

(26+10)⁶ = 2,176,782,336
1,450 minutes a day
2,176,782,336 / (1,450 * 60) = ~25,000 years
- tejohnso 5y agoYou went from min per day multiplied by constant per min and ended up with years somehow.
- q3k 5y agoMy reasoning: Number of 6-character alphanumeric passwords: (2*26+10)**6 == 56800235584 Number of seconds in a year: 60*60*24*365 == 31536000 Number of years to enumerate all 6-character alphanumeric passwords at one password a second: >>> ((2*26+10)**6)/(60*60*24*365) 1801.1236549974633 (this assumes that alphanumeric is [a-zA-Z0-9], which some might disagree with)
