Very interesting point. I did not think of that, thanks. I was looking at the speed of calculation in different scenarios (calculated on the fly)based on which characters are part of the password and it is still very difficult, if you have a strong password. I am curious which percentage one could match just checking for hashes of common passwords, or common patterns like exclamation marks at the end. In any case it is better than the unhashed version, I agree.

PS Sorry punctuation, mobile phone.
