Would you consider gmail to be pretty important if you used it daily like I
do?  Let's take a look at what Google says in their EULA:

=====================================================
6. Your passwords and account security

6.1 You agree and understand that you are responsible for maintaining the
confidentiality of passwords associated with any account you use to access
the Services.

6.2 Accordingly, you agree that you will be solely responsible to Google for
all activities that occur under your account.

6.3 If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your password or of your
account, you agree to notify Google immediately at [snipped URL].
=====================================================

I don't remember that gmail had very strict password rules.  Yet their
legalese basically negates the need since they pretty much label you
responsible for everything that happens under your account.  If my bank gets
hacked because I use my same username / password as my gmail and it was
obtained via gmail somehow, does that legalese mean Google is in the clear?
