From the article:
Phil Haack said: In many cases, it may not even be a conscious choice.
That probably accounts for 99.9% of it all.
No conscious thought.
I've worked at a great many small, medium, large companies.
Try asking any one of those managers...
"Hey, what's the last book you read to learn about people and/or leadership?"
99% of the time...
Manager :  <Cue the crickets!!>

They lack a "best before..." sticker?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

A new survey reveals that 76 percent of employees say they experience regular password usage problems and more than a third need password-related help desk support at least once every month. Your password should consist of 8-12 letters, 2.5 numbers, a symbol, and at least one unspeakable horror beyond nightmare
Or everyone could just use that one from xkcd everywhere

A yuuge improvement would be extremely simple and highly effective; stop making up new nonsense-rules and allow ALL text as a password.
Even official sites who deny using a password simply because its "too long" (serious? having storage problems and trying to save a few bytes or what?) or it contains non-ASCII characters.

What you want every password field to be varchar(max)! and every form to be the width of the page/view 
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

In Windows 3 there was this great invention called the "textbox". It can hold more text than it can display, so no need for page-wide inputfields.

That is too funny. Is it original or taken from somewhere else?

I think it was the official Royal Bank password rules last time I looked. 
No, that was just my fetid brain again.

It's commented out anyway. It seems like an export table of Kernel32.dll. But gives us hope of backward compatibility in coming years.

For programmers and software developers, the Internet forums provide a great place to exchange knowledge and seek answers to concrete coding conundrums. Alas, they are not always the source of accurate information. You can't trust the codez plz?

The days of software packages are coming to an end. Say hello to what JFrog co-founder and chief architect Fred Simon calls “liquid software.” Yeah, who needs software that just installs when you can try to assemble it all yourself from badly matched components?
