How Strong is Your Password?

I've read an interesting article about "Realistic Password Strength Estimation" from Dropbox tech blog.

Interesting quote:

"Through 20 years of effort, we've successfully trained everyone to use passwords that are HARD for humans to REMEMBER, but EASY for computers to GUESS."

In short, according to the writer's estimation complicated password such as "Tr0ub4dor&3" is easier for the computer to guess in comparison to "correcthorsebatterystaple".
