Brilliant! I knew the math of the probability calculations, but seeing the time/cost escalation from 8 to 10 characters was very impactful and persuasive.

16+ uniformly random characters from the largest possible pool (uppercase, lowercase, digits, and symbols), unique for each site, stored in a password manager, protected using a double blind 16+ uniformly random characters password (preferably more characters), composed of something you have (such as a hardware token) and something you know, preferably stored on a standalone device (though this presents a potential problem in terms of redundancy), where the device is protected by biometrics and/or a really secure password/pin and/or hardware token. Isn’t security fun? Lol😆
