how do the bad guys crack passwords?
Hackers don’t guess passwords by sitting there and guessing and type them in. They have programs that create all possible combinations of words and numbers. While the hacker goes off to have tea, the program does the guessing, and notifies the hacker when it succeeds! By making passwords as above, we increase the time it takes that program to crack our password, to thousands of years.
