Depends on the site … I hate strong passwords for accounts that don’t involve a lot of data. If all I enter is my email and password, and there’s no other personal data, I don’t want to make a strong password.
That’s true for people who understand the risk. But most people probably use the same “strong” password for the random site as they do for their bank or medical account. I think it actually increases the risk of reusing passwords, unless you’re using a password manager.
I honestly doubt this is about privacy at all. There is no knowing the privacy knowledge level or practices of the individual. The company requiring the strong password is likely only doing so to protect themselves from any potential hacks themselves and from any potential lawsuits from users who lost personal resources due to their own lack of solid privacy practices. Its sad but true. Companies only spend when they need to. That can be actual or perceived need, but the concern is themselves and not the user. That is also what 'best practices' protects. The up side to best practices is it provides a 'free' upgrade to all the others (companies & users) who just implement it. It is the slow improvements to best practices that is the true win.
