I used to have a really long one so often I had problems logging in, So i cut it short, things are pretty smooth thereafter

Mine is 8 characters, and I can confidently type it out in front of people, knowing that there is absolutely no way they could remember what it is.

For .htaccess passwords, they are usually 32-40 characters long. Though because I know my computer is secure (encrypted disks, ethernet connection, biometric access, in a room with 24 hour alarm system including motion and entry sensors), I let my browser remember them. On a wireless connection, I wouldn't do that.

Then to actually login to an Admin CP, it would be a more sensible password. Current one is 12 characters with digits and letters including upper and lower case. Don't usually use punctuation in a password. Thinking of putting Admin CP on a new site under SSL with a self-signed 128-bit certificate. No need for a commercial one since it is just for private use.

10 characters....varies though, sometimes less sometimes more....changed about monthly or bimonthly.

numbers, uppers, lowers, and punctuation.

8 characters with numbers and symbols and uppercase/lowercase letters in it.

From a Password Security PDF file I have - this is from 2005:

The time to crack/hack passwords with respect to the password length and its complexity. The search speed supposedly equals 100,000 passwords per second (a very decent speed).

First column: Password length /charset
Second column:26 (no case, letters only)
Third column:36 (no case, letters & digits)
Fourth column:52 (case sensitive)
Fifth column:96 (all printable)

4 0 0 1 min 13 min
5 0 10 min 1 hr 22 hr
6 50 minutes 6 hrs 2.2 days 3 months
7 22 hrs 9 days 4 months 23 yrs
8 24 days 10.5 months 17 yrs 2,287 yrs
9 21 months 32.6 yrs 881 yrs 219,000 yrs
10 45 yrs 1,159 yrs 45,838 yrs 21 million yrs
