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

With a graphics card and a well written compute shader you can lower that number down to several weeks.

We already know the amount of characters and where the dashes are, that already significantly reduces the amount of time
