Is there a way to determine the number of characters in the wallet password?  I haven't used mine since April 2018 and for some reason the password I remember using isn't working.  I installed the btcrecovery in python and have tried a few lists of possible variations of my password up to 109k possibilities, but still nada.  If I knew how many characters it was, it would help a lot for making my password lists.  And ideas?  It's very important, of course.  I don't think anyone could have messed with it because I had the wallet.dat file backed up in a rar stored away safely.  I tried two completely different backups of the wallet file.
