Bitwarden's strength testing tool estimates: **"strong / 3 years"** to crack your pw
vs.
Passwordmonster's strength testing tool estimates: **"62 thousand years".**
This is just an example but you get the point: there's a bit of a difference between 3 yrs vs 62k years using the exact same password. Can anyone help explain this to a non-security person?
