"Extremely weak passwords are a bad idea. An attacker can guess things like password, etc. and just try them even if they do not have the database. So do not use them regardless of the storage technology.
Another thing PolyPassHash does not protect against is password reuse. Do not use the same password on multiple sites no matter how strong it is! We recommend using a password manager that generates a separate, strong password per site."
If they recommend using a password manager then what additional security does this scheme provide? Presumably your password manager generates strong, unique passwords.
