And in any password strength calculator I've ever used, that would be a good
password. I just don't understand why people are so resistant to longer
passwords. If you can type more than 30 wpm it really doesn't make any

Hmm. Not bad...
Brute Force Search Space Analysis:
Search Space Depth (Alphabet):
26+26+33 = 85
Search Space Length (Characters):
31 characters
Exact Search Space Size (Count):
(count of all possible passwords
with this alphabet size and up
to this password's length)
656,336,
167,528,024,399,498,994,
877,218,488,129,122,193,
814,033,553,713,843,935
Search Space Size (as a power of 10):
6.56 x 1059
Time Required to Exhaustively Search this Password's Space:
Online Attack Scenario:
(Assuming one thousand guesses per second)
2.09 hundred billion trillion trillion trillion centuries
Offline Fast Attack Scenario:
(Assuming one hundred billion guesses per second)
2.09 thousand trillion trillion trillion centuries
Massive Cracking Array Scenario:
(Assuming one hundred trillion guesses per second)
2.09 trillion trillion trillion centuries
Note that typical attacks will be online password guessing
limited to, at most, a few hundred guesses per second.
... the password was "Steve Gibson can suck mah balls".
