it's not that users aren't selecting long passwords, it's that we aren't cracking them. yes, the majority of users select a password 6-8 characters long. but with each leak there's always that 10% we cannot crack. and with all these highly-publicized leaks lately, it has reminded people that they need to choose longer passwords.
Thanks for your reply epixoip.
