This “blame the users for reusing passwords” thread is dangerous. It sets us back many years. We need robust solutions from verifiers ala NIST 800-63 and not unrealistic expectations that consumer-centric users will change their behaviors.
If someone creates a weak password and then reuses it across multiple services, do they have any responsibility if one of their accounts is then compromised via credential stuffing?

Yes, sites should require strong passwords, then try said password on the Alexa 1000 to ensure it is unique.

There are better ways to accomplish that goal.

What could be better than trying to hack your customer on a thousand other sites? (BTW, my replies are farcical, I’m not really advocating for any of this)
