That would be 281.474.976.710.656 or 2.8*10^15. I guess this is still
quite hard to handle? At least if you use additional salting.
Ok, but I see that this entropy is just enough for a random password of
a length of 8 or 9, depending on the character range used, so it's edgy.
Just curious btw, I haven't followed this thread closely, especially did
I not follow who offered what code to whom.
