A password with 8 characters can be relatively secure if it is made up of a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters. However, it is generally recommended to use longer passwords for increased security.
It depends on the complexity of the characters used in the password. A password with only lower case letters or only numbers may be easier to crack compared to one with a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers. It is important to use a strong and unique password to minimize the risk of it being cracked.
The time it takes to crack a password with 8 characters varies depending on the strength of the password and the methods used for cracking. It could range from a few seconds to several years.
Incorporating special characters in a password can make it more secure, but it is not necessary. It is more important to have a unique and strong combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers.
It is generally recommended to use a longer password, ideally 12 characters or more, for increased security. However, if a password with 8 characters is the maximum allowed for a specific account, it is still better than using a weak and easily guessable password.
