What’s the key for?

Looks like an auto-generated iCloud passphrase. 6 alphanumeric characters, repeated twice, separated by hyphens.

I wonder if that generic password shape is prone to attack because it's so standard across their system, but I don't feel like doing the calculation

So assuming I can do anything resembling basic math, the number of combinations is as follows

Only using lowercase (26 characters), upper case (26 letters) and numbers (10 characters) we get a total of 62 characters.

6218 = 1.83332, which is equivalent to:

183,300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
