Nobody is actually 'hacking' account passwords, that would take an obscenely long amount of time.
So your 25+ digit uber password of doom is just as useful as the abridged sensible version.

and thats why you use unique passwords for every login. the weak point then becomes the connection between you and the login server. if someone wanted to 'steal' my password, they could but then if you're determined to target one specific person, you probably aren't concerned about the lengths required to do it anyway.
if say, my account were actually breached it would take me about two minutes to have my credit card shut down and it isn't that hard for me to regain access to my account because you'd also have to breach other security measures to take full control of it.
If you manage to do that, I have other, far larger problems on my mind.
