Strong passwords are always necessary
-
There are websites that automatically generate long passwords, helping users to find a strong one.
-
A long password, e.g. RainbowMouseTerrace has much higher entropy, causing it to be more secure in general than a complex password as Fr3DdY#21. The first password is also easier to type and remember.
-
Anyone should be able to type an email, hence a password could be a sentence
-
A password manager supports the idea of long and secure passwords
-
A more secure solution than strong passwords is multi-factor authentication. With this a user can use a phone, smart card or other device to achieve a higher level of security than any password can provide. With multi-factor authentication the password is replaced with a PIN than can be as short as four digits. Length of the pin is irrelevant.

Our users want convenience above security. Typing in long passwords is too hard.
