The compute power needed use to be of the order of 5s per password try. So it effectively mitigate brute force back them, you need a absurd compute power to crack them.

Moore law did its thing, now you can do it with a lot less computer power.

s/power/time/ maybe? Or on second thought: so energy-efficicient that it actually uses less power in the same-or-shorter time… which brings me back to "less compute power".
