I won't address any particular encryption algorithms; this is just a pure and simple brute-force attack given precomputed password entropy. Furthermore, quantum computers can use Grover's algorithm for an exponential speed-up; to account for quantum computers using Grover's algorithm, calculate P(n/2, e) instead.

Obviously, I'm not taking into account future mathematical advances; my crystal ball broke after I asked it if humanity would ever develop the technology to make anime real.

Finally, there's always a non-zero probability of a brute-force attack guessing a password with a given entropy. Literal "immunity" is impossible. Lowering this probability to statistical insignificance renders our password practically immune to brute-force attacks.
