I found it more amusing than serious.

thisisacommonpassword takes 65 trillion years
Add a 1, and it's 2 quintillion years
Add a ? to that, and it's 1 septillion years.

What seems to have vulnerabilities these days are the allegedly 'secure sites' where we make purchases via-credit cards and such.

It's all based on the assumption that the codes are cracked by computers. If someone wants to know YOUR password, and is dedicated to that task, things get much easier.
L33t is pretty secure, especially in sentences.
