Question of the Day: How long does it take a hacker to crack a 7 character password?

Posted on November 07, 2021

Answer: up to 0.29 milliseconds. 

Questions: 

  • How long is your typical password?
  • Do you use the same password for multiple websites? 
  • Have you (or do you know anyone who has) been hacked? Do you know how it happened? 

Here's the ready-to-use slides for this Question of the Day for your classroom.

Behind the numbers (Venture Beat):

Hackers crack a seven-character password in up to 0.29 milliseconds. That’s a startling statistic. Using one password for multiple logins sounds tempting; however, recycling passwords only leads to hackers gaining access to multiple accounts through a successful attack. When choosing a password, try using a random word sequence and make it 12 or more characters long. Using a password manager can help you use a different password for each website.
