apparently adding a single space to your password can take it from 1 day to crack to 55 years

"most practical purposes" meaning if you had n lowercase letters vs n-1 lowercase plus a space...
-
...if the person so happened to be brutefocing with "all lowercase and space" the difference is nil
-
more likely tho they're gonna have to try at least "all lowercase and a bunch of 'special' chars"
-
but more likely than *that* they'd have to try lower+upper+number+special which is much much larger
-
this is if bruteforcing tho, really a lot of the ways people try to comply with "must have xyz"...

...intended to widen space as described fall under simple heuristics (@ for a, nums on end, etc)
-
and most are just using toolkits that narrow search by including these "clever tricks" ppl use

that's only because the software isn't smart enough to accept "and there is 1 space", instead needs whole character class of any number
-
I mean you could easily write that but how would you know the person had one space and nothing else
-
because it's drethelin's pw and he specifically said that?

I'm playing around with https://howsecureismypassword.net
