About this document
Password Combinatorics Explained by Jon Mactavish is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses different methods to calculate the number of possible passwords with 6 to 8 characters that contain at least one digit. It explains that there are 36 possible characters and outlines the steps to use the rule of product and sum. It also describes an alternative approach that breaks down the counting based on the number of digits in each password (from 1 to 6 digits) using combinations and the binomial theorem. The total number of valid passwords is calculated as the sum of these cases
