Isn't the problem that people see passwords as "access" rather than "security"? General public see complex user-names and passwords as an impediment to access, which they are.
I rather think the people who run sites, etc see it the same since often passwords are allowed to be simple by design. Where real security is required users are given passwords like "we%W%G^&FGH344N" to use. Or there s a strictly enforced policy that the user is made to follow.
