This thread isn't about data in general, only passwords. So first of all, a strong password is much harder to crack in the instance that it's stored in a hashed form in the database. In the instance it's stored (unforgivably) in cleartext, it cannot be used, because an additional factor is required to authenticate. That is how exactly.

It's still a good idea though.
