How long does it take to crack a 11 character password?

Password length has a huge impact on security, but common words and patterns can still make short passwords easy to break.

Quick answer

A 11 character password could often be cracked in days to years depending on complexity, depending on how random it is and which characters it uses.

What affects crack time?

A random 11-character password is much stronger than a predictable one with the same length.

How to make a 11 character password stronger

Use a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid dictionary words and anything based on your name, birthday, or favorite team.
