For a password with only 10 characters, the cracking process can be completed instantly if the characters are only numbers.

However, if the 10-character password includes both upper and lower case letters, it will still be cracked instantly but with a bit more complexity.

A password with 11 characters, regardless of character type, can be cracked instantly. But a 12-character password will take up to 2 years to crack.
