- 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)
