Now most passwords fall in a couple hours with traditional cracking
tools and in a couple minutes with Rainbow Table based tools.  But we
still change our 8 character alphanumeric passwords every 30 days, even
though we no longer remember why, rather than requiring a 15 char
mixed-case upper/lower/numeric/symbol password.

you change your passwords?
