>18 vs. 16 Characters:
>An 18-character password has $ 95^2 = 9,025 $ times more combinations than a 16-character password. Thus, it takes 9,025 times longer to brute-force, or roughly 130 quadrillion years vs. 14 trillion years.
>20 vs. 16 Characters:
>A 20-character password has $ 95^4 \approx 8.1 \times 10^7 $ times more combinations than a 16-character password, taking ~1.1 sextillion years.
>20 vs. 18 Characters:
>A 20-character password has $ 95^2 = 9,025 $ times more combinations than an 18-character password, so it takes 9,025 times longer.
>[Key Insights]
>Each additional character increases the brute-force time exponentially (by a factor of 95 for this character set). Adding just two characters (e.g., from 16 to 18) makes the attack ~9,000 times harder.
