My password was made with the best practices, but I see people mention the amount of iterations done. Does that basically mean just Iterations * each attempt to brute force? ie 2 rotations to figure out a 1 digit pin = (1/10)2= 20 max guesses? Thanks a lot for reference though re 50 bits and 3.5. Helpful numbers to keep in mind.

(Edit: looked more in to how to calc password entropy. Luckily I'm good. Thanks a lot for this info tho.)
