The fact that a password could be cracked at all means it was very weak. Strong passwords can't be cracked with any realistic amount of resources or motivation.

- loa_in_ 2y agoThere's a small chance that your password will be my first roll in a random generator.
- GrantMoyer 2y agoI used the absolute language "can't" intentionally, because frankly, in most contexts outside pure math it's more misleadling to state guessing a sufficiently long truely random password is possible than to say it's impossible. Humans can't really intuitively handle probabilities so small. It's the same reason we say heat "always" flows from higher to lower temerature.
