Detailed explanation-1: -Password length refers to the number of characters (letters, numbers, punctuation marks, etc.) in a password. Experts recommend using longer passwords when possible. The longer a password is, the more possible permutations it has, making it harder and harder for cybercriminals to crack.
Detailed explanation-2: -The longer the password, the longer it will take to crack. When a password cracker has more characters to fill to guess the correct password, it’s exponentially less likely to get it right. In other words, you don’t need a complex password with lots of fancy special characters if you have a long password.
Detailed explanation-3: -According to new research, anything with six characters, regardless of whether numbers and symbol are included, can be cracked instantly.
Detailed explanation-4: -Passwords of fewer than sixteen characters. Words or phrases that do not mix upper and lower case, or do not mix letters or numbers, or do not mix letters and punctuation. Your name in any form-first, middle, last, maiden, spelled backwards, nickname or initials.
