## Introduction
I realize that advice on password strength can get outdated. As supercomputers grow more powerful, password strength recommendations need to be updated to resist stronger brute-force attacks. Passwords that are strong today might be weak in the future. How long should a password be in order for it to be physically impossible to brute-force, ever?
