TL;DR Summary

PassGAN, an AI password cracker, can crack any seven-character password in approximately six minutes or less. However, it doesn't crack passwords any faster than other non-AI password crackers. To protect yourself, create a password of 11 characters or more that includes a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Alternatively, use a passphrase (multiple words combined to create a password) that is at least 15 characters long.
