It's been a very long time, but: wouldn't Grover's algorithm apply to password hashes, shortening effective bit length by half? That said, "double your password complexity/length" shouldn't be a problem if people are actually using password managers. |

Granted, I'm sure many sites are still using bad hash-based algorithms like md5 without salt today. But modern applications are often built with the goal of slowing down even offline attacks with salting, memory consumption, and CPU cycle consumption. The goal isn't just slow, but costly.
