    Is it though? Because I it’s the same amount of characters

      But there are 12 possible characters rather than 10 which increases the problem space.

        Sorry, what do you mean by 12 characters?

          All numbers in a passcode means 10 possible values for each position: 0-9. Just the letters in the phrase “second breakfast” include 12 possible values at each position which means mathematically there are more possible solutions.

            But the attacker wouldn’t know about that. He does not know if the password is just characters, numbers etc…

                I was thinking about that because probably the first world on these dictionaries is “password”

              Speaking of not knowing things, how do you know the attacker’s pronouns?

                This made me laugh pretty hard for some reason. Thank you.

            Where do you get the 12 from? Alphabetical is 26 variations per character, not 12.

      Do it with the caps and lowers intact. Add spaces and you’ve got an unbrute-able password.
