This is a combinatorics math counting problem: Suppose you are trying to create a password for your new email account. The account requires that everyone uses a secure password (this means that the password contains at least one of each: a number, a special character, an uppercase letter, and a lowercase letter). How many secure passwords could you create that have a length of 8? Note: A number is defined as a number between 0-9 (so 10 numbers available), there are 26 uppercase letters and 26 lowercase letters that can be used. Finally, there are 15 special characters allowed to create the password.
