Tell them that we are in 2016 and they need a service like lastpass to generate and save their passwords without having to remember them. Once they get $10k in their account, they'll be happy that they had a 16 digits password so they can sleep without worrying that someone steal their money.
Since it's blockchain, we cannot change our passwords...it's irreversible, so better be safe than sorry.
actually, you can change your password. The public keys on your account are completely configurable.
Hello Dan. I know this seems like a silly issue, but considering there are people walking away from Steemit because of it, is there anything you could/would do about it?
For password they can just use a sequence of words with space between
Case in point

Also remember, the new suggest a password / backup feature we have on the create account page. My Dad can't get into his account anymore because he does not remember how to work lastpass. Maybe we can still figure it out, but it could be a bit much for someone who has not used lastpass before and is going into a new platform.
keepass is also a great option for a password manager!
(I remember I picked them up because they used not a server to store all customers password like lastpass back then...)
