Most people would not be very creative in the way they srcmbale their 
password.

That bad habit often has a compelling cause.  Have you ever noticed that 
women's pants typically have much smaller pockets than men's?  Their 
pockets are generally too small to fit a wallet.  The women I know find 
that quite annoying, but there is little they can do about it other than 
working very hard to find clothes.

The audience I am addressing is the general public.  In this "tl;dr" 
world, I can not give password advice to everyone.  I can give them a 
password complexity meter and a "password tips" link that a few people 
might click.
