[Mot] de passe qui est difficile à retrouver, même à l'aide d'outils automatisés.

OBS

La force d'un mot de passe dépend de sa longueur et du nombre de possibilités existantes pour chaque caractère le composant. En effet, un mot de passe constitué de minuscules, de majuscules, de caractères spéciaux et de chiffres est techniquement plus difficile à découvrir qu'un mot de passe constitué uniquement de minuscules.
