Given the evidence of breaches this last year or so ... it is very clear that many sites have exceedingly poor password practices, not requiring adequately strong passwords, limiting the character set. mapping to upper case, discarding the extra characters of longer passwords and more. perhaps the greatest sin is not having irreversibly encrypted passwords so that they cab be 'retried' for you convenience!
