If you put in numbers, the password will be cracked much more easily.
Because there are only 10 numbers (0->9), whereas there are 26 letters and loads more special symbols.
No, because any "digit" could be a number or letter or special character...
Let's say there's 100 possible characters that can be used in a password (number pulled out of my ass), which includes upper-case, lower, numbers, and symbols.
If it's 1 character long, there's 100 possibilities.
If it's 2 characters long, there's 10,000 possibilities.
If it's 3 characters long, there's 1,000,000 possibilities.
If it's 4 characters long, there's 100,000,000 possibilities.
If it's 5 characters long, there's 10,000,000,000 possibilities.
If it's 6 characters long, there's 1,000,000,000,000 possibilities.
This is because
each character you add will multiply the previous value by the number of possible characters in the set!
