You can have the best security in the world..

but useless if you use your first name as your password.

Humans are the weakest link in security.

Exactly. People dont want better security. They want their computing experience to be easier. Domain passwords have been the topic of conversation more than once between a couple of 50something women at lunch. "Oh, well I use my dog's name!" "I like to use my husband's middle name with an 11 at the end". The right guy sitting next to these women could easily wreck a major company.
