I presume that SHA-256 is too fast to compute these days, because of very fast hardware. So if the passwords are entered by a human they probably will match the dictionary based algorithms pretty quickly.

Same I was able to brute force a bad windows 8 laptop password a few years back with physical access to the machine. Passwords like "Yo1235!Mama" aren't going to stand up to much.
