"COMMON PASSWORD: IN THE TOP 9635 MOST USED PASSWORDS

Your password is very commonly used. It would be cracked almost instantly[1]"

I do realise there's a difference between cracking a local system password vs a website password but always assume a site's database is going to be leaked at some point

It would take a computer about

47 TREDECILLION YEARS to crack your password

Why not create even stronger passwords with Dashlane? It's free!

I didn't know that was a number!
