Password is one of your best lines of defense against attackers, but they can crack it from you very, very quickly. 💨

This will allow you to set the correct level of complexity for your own passwords.
You will see the gap is not huge to go from a password that cracks instantly to a password that takes several tens (hundreds) of years to be cracked.
