I feel the phrase "Quick! Kill the Badger!" may be David Cameron's password.

Password can be cracked in less than a jiffy. Only passwords that are real can be used.
Makes me think of password 'Pen1s' then getting error message "Sorry, your password is too short". Obviously not a black man...

Once you've submitted a password to somewhere other than where it is intended to be used, the password is no longer secure no matter what the site says.

But the site says:

"This site could be stealing your password... it's not, but it easily could be."

And it says it right there, on the Internet!

So it must be true.

Using brute force, yes - that's why we have dictionaries. And no, replacing one of them characters with a digit doesn't help that much in making it "more" secure.

I'd recommend a GUID or something similar, combined with Keepass.

No password at all.

At least they'd understand that they're not secure that way; always better than giving someone a false sense of security.

Possibly if you take a brute force approach. If you go for a dictionary/library approach, 'I will always remember this password!' probably won't take very long.

Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.
