@mbetzer   It looks as though the LinkedIn article from Cyberhub was derived from here or a similar table:

This does underscore the NIST advise that "length is the primary factor".  

 

I always wonder if charts like this if they consider the human factors involved.  Knowing how we collectively behave, Crackers are much more likely to check P@ssw0rd  well before they check 8 randomly-generated characters.

@denbestenDon't worry Quantum Computing is just around the corner, and then we should be worried about the cryptographic algorithms and hashes protecting the passwords and where they are held too.
