How quickly can your password be cracked?

Web users beware—even if you create a complex password containing numbers, upper and lower case letters mixed with common symbols (like a percentage sign), the time it would take to crack it is virtually instantaneous. See the eye-opening chart below for some shocking crackability stats.

To ensure yours is as strong as possible, try this:

Use a password manager, allow it to create a different random super strong password for every site and then create a super strong master password. Use an offline password manager that does not store your passwords on its servers whether encrypted or not.
