Hence "Strong passwords that need to be memorized" in OP's comment. Or else your memory is way better than mine (or I care way less, or probably both).

- Buge 10y agoWhether they need to be memorized or not does not make the statement "it will be leaked eventually anyway" more true. I use a password database so I don't memorize most of my passwords.
- throwaway729 10y agoWell, it does, because memory puts some limitations on length and complexity...
- Buge 10y agoIt is possible to memorize a 100 bit password. I once had a 1000 word poem memorized, and could write it down flawlessly from memory. I agree that it's not worth memorizing, you should instead use a password database. But I still maintain my original point that there's no reason to assume that your password will be leaked eventually if you use a strong password.
