Careful, that math assumes each character was chosen randomly, which isn't how people usually pick passwords. If the password contains words and patterns, then it was much weaker. "Passwordpasswordpass" matches those requirements, and is decidedly weak.

But I agree, password reuse or other similar mistake seems likely.
