I'm not 100% sure that we can trust these websites, but you should check:

https://howsecureismypassword.net/

http://random-ize.com/how-long-to-hack-pass/

I tried those websites with a different 14 character passwords as I don't want to put mine online even if they say the password is not registered to their servers and the answers were pretty good.

First website answer:

It would take 1 computer to crack it a quadrillion years Smiley

Second website

Your password is strong and secure and it would take 1328957638 years to crack it Smiley

25 GPUs devour password hashes at up to 348 billion per second. Five 4U servers equipped with 25 AMD Radeon-powered GPUs linked together using an Infiniband switched


Any approximate time needed to crack this password let's say from state sponsorship with 5000 cluster computers ? (cluster PC are with a tons of GPU-s each for cracking)
Suppose the Russian government wants your password. Cracking your password is not necessary. They put a bug in your computer, your house or put a gun to your head. You can't stop a state.



The government where I live in is not allowed to put you a gun to your head to find your password. I am talking about a normal government which if they can't hack your password cannot put you into jail.

So what is the approximate time if they have these AMD GPU-s you are talking about ? That's my main concern of this whole thread, an approximate with the latest equipment of a state (It's a good thing for me my state is not so well developed in this category)

As I already posted, it would be (5210 * 1,259,712) divided by the number of password attempts per second. That can further be decreased by getting more hints about your password. For example, knowing if you only uppercase or lowercase letters would decrease the possible combinations by a factor of 1,024.
