At some level it's extremely likely that this is all that ever needs to be done, even if the password needed to be cracked is 300 characters long and completely random. The likely case is that this password is in a password vault, which is either 1) online managed by a company (in which it's easy to see that it's inevitable to be leaked or cracked, given the news we've seen from these companies) or 2) it's on a local device and still has a simple password to get access to all passwords. It's extremely unlikely that someone has a completely random password that is >40 characters long for the password manager.
