    A constantly recurring theme used by software providers to scare us into using their product.
    BUT, let's face it - how many people use "dumb" passwords for simplicity and ease of access to areas that have no security risks.
    There are multiple websites that I access that require logins - like this one - where a simple easy password, kept in my browser are more than enough.
    What's the worst that could happen.

    There will always be areas - financial, etc - where a stronger password is required, but, there will also be a lot more where a casual approach is sufficient.
