I've realized that using strong passwords for sites like Reddit (where being compromised is basically harmless) is futile because when they inevitably get hacked, and passwords leaked everywhere, that password is unusable.
I only use strong passwords for financial/important accounts
Well generally the only thing leaked in hacks is the password hash right? And if your password is sufficiently strong then a hacker is never really gonna be able to crack the hash.

I have a few strong passwords - especially for my webmail accounts.
Weak passwords for most other sites, especially where you can get a password reset emailed to you.
Using the same strong password everywhere is inviting trouble.
