Passwords suck. Can you do anything about it‪?‬ Impact Assessment

Passwords are the worst. Trying to pick a "secure" one makes the whole thing worse. Every site and service has it's own variation on the "rules" for making a strong password and it's hard to remember what you've set your password to.

Are those rules really making our passwords stronger? Do we need so many different passwords? Is it even possible to keep track of all of these passwords?
