minus-squaredylanmorgan@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·1 year agoBut there are 12 possible characters rather than 10 which increases the problem space.
minus-squareCalavera@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down1·1 year agoSorry, what do you mean by 12 characters?
minus-squaredylanmorgan@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7arrow-down1·1 year agoAll numbers in a passcode means 10 possible values for each position: 0-9. Just the letters in the phrase “second breakfast” include 12 possible values at each position which means mathematically there are more possible solutions.

minus-squarethis_is_router@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 year agoWhere do you get the 12 from? Alphabetical is 26 variations per character, not 12.
