Re:Why even let users set their own passwords?

Sadly you still have many sites that have stupid password rules like requiring numbers and "special characters" -- but no spaces, and no, periods don't count as special characters, and blah blah blah. Point being, the ideal of a simple phrase that's easy to remember gets thrown out the window when you have to deal with all the different rules.

I’m getting very confused about the comments here that are trivially refuted. So make a passphrase like: Correct6$Horse7&Battery and be done with it. That’s still easy to write down and remember while transcribing.
Nobody’s arguing that passwords/phrases should only be remembered and never written down or stored in a password manager. That ship sailed a long time ago.
