* The "years to crack" values assume one is using a password cracking tool that can crack passwords at a rate of 350 billion passwords per second. Per this CNET article, that was the rate at which passwords could be cracked by high-end dedicated password cracking devices as of 2012. It is important to remember that, there may be devices that can work at higher speeds and any number of devices may operate in parallel to achieve higher performance.
