Each range option yields a different amount of possible password combinations. Let’s look at how many combinations there are for a password of 0-6 characters in length.

Numerical – 1,111,110 Passwords

Lowercase Alpha – 321,272,406 Passwords

Uppercase Alpha – 321,272,406 Passwords (obviously the same because it’s the same amount of characters)

Mixed Alpha - 20,158,268,676 Passwords

Alphanumeric – 57,731,386,986 Passwords

Full Keyspace – 697,287,735,690 Passwords

For a six character password, we are hitting over 697 Billion combinations for the full keyspace! And by just adding one more character to the password making it 0- 7, the number of combinations jumps to 65,545,047,154,955, that’s over 65 Trillion! As you can see, it makes a big difference having an idea of what types of characters are being used in the password(s) and how long it is.
