Not anymore. That would get moved towards the top of the rainbow table now.
Pass phrases for the passwords you have to type by hand, automatically generated passwords for the things that can autofill from a password manager, MFA for everything that supports it.
Anything less or any password reuse is just asking for trouble.
Yeah, using a pass phrase makes it much easier to remember on top of being more secure. But users should introduce at least a bit more complexity than that example (all lower case letters isn't great). This1sComplexButMemorable! Is an easy example of how you can just make up a relevant sentence to what you're using, include a range of character types for complexity and to meet requirements, and you're good to go. Plus if you make it relevant to what you're logging into, you're less likely to be tempted to reuse the pass.

Is an incredibly secure password for Hotmail. And super memorable.
