If you're using one of these, you're asking for trouble.

I spend all day typing in passwords to unlock my work computer that locks outs within 2 minutes. It starts the day booting using an encrypted password, then login using the local machine username then joy of joys, I then have to use a VPN with another two factor authorisation thing before I get to access my email on a remote desktop using another login. Sometimes I need to login in again to access other things/apps/areas which you can guess doesn't quite have single sign-on activated. If I go to lunch I guarantee when I come back, I've lost remote connection so have to login 3 times again. Downright annoying when working across multiple servers so I'm one who simplifies the keyboard entry of a password to combinations I can type quickly yet still comply with the requirements of a secure password combination.
Needless to say I treat these types of articles with a hint of contempt as the main routes these days by hackers/crackers is to attack the database to get the passwords. That is more valuable as you won't know its been compromised for a long while and no matter how secure you've created one, its useless if it hasn't been stored and encrypted properly in the database.
