And there is another point too that quite often stays under radar — all of this are very anglo-centric things. What do you think… if and when I’m using short and quite easy password in finnish, in swedish, in german or actually using any other language than english, how fast a script/bot can break it?
Sure, that doesn’t help in the States, Canada, UK etc, but the world is much wider 
That is meaning one thing: everything is done because english speaking users are using passwords like password or qwerty 
But yes, I’m a little bit tired when an admin says I can’t use a password like ÄitiniMun because there is not several numbers or something else.
Too simple passwords aren’t issue. Using same email/password combination in several services is.
