The problem: users don't want long passwords.

(Though password managers can help a lot.)

Oh, the irony...

One of my banking apps has a 10 minute logout "feature" (which can't be disabled) that pretty much guarantees you need to have a crappy, easy to remember, password if you want to use it. Add on top of this a predilection for "2FA" (aka text message) every few times you log in and the thing is basically an unusable hot mess.
