In a password, cases don't imply change on the base (26 to 52) bc the alternative to s is S, not a, or h. Test cases in the link use random set of characters. But if you uses the password houseofallofus, password breaker only needs to check a number of times for case. One case, 2x tests, two cases 3x tests and so.

@karlggestd It's just interesting to show how easy to crack passwords these days.

@socialawy well, as some said in the other answers, you can use single random words combinations (about 20 characters). If you test slimmountaindeeperwindsofchange in https://password.kaspersky.com/ they offer "nice password" +10000 centuries tu break
Kaspersky: Secure Password Check

It is important to choose passwords wisely. Check how strong and secure is your password. Improve the strength of your password to stay safe.

@karlggestd I see, thanks for the info, however, many users still depend on 1 or 2 passwords for most of their apss, related to familiar info, numbers, birthdates... etc, I guess at least they should consider the minimum requirements for password.

@socialawy yes, but most of them don't simply understand what there's no need for a hacker attack. Thay think: "why a hacker could lost time in me?" and don't think most attacks are with automatic systems.
But best way to teach them is talking them about long easy passwords (>20 long with some case, numbers and signs, maybe slimmountain!Windsofchange style.

@karlggestd Agreed, I'm trying to do that regularly with family, friends and local/social networks.
