I wonder how many of the bad passwords are on accounts that demand passwords for their purposes, not for the user's? I take much less care when choosing a password for an online publication that won't provide its content without a login. I won't purposefully give my credentials to someone else, but don't much care if they are compromised. I never use these simple strings on other, more important accounts, though.
