The main problem is less easy to guess passwords are less easy to remember. :P I don't want to have passwords plastered over my PC or buried in my phone. Every site tells you that your password should be different from every other site, but no one thinks that you have to remember this multitude of passwords. And it'd blatantly be a bad idea to swap to some vastly obscure password like the one assigned to my email address by my provider, for obvious reasons. (Not to mention it took me years to remember the thing - works as an effective way to keep me with my provider though!)

I'm just also fascinated / slightly miffed that it's the first time it's ever asked me to do it. It's pretty annoying too. Can't help it. *shrugs*

Just have to remember to write it down now, I guess. :P

But wouldn't have it been more effective if it'd asked me to change it when I logged in, rather than waiting until I edited my presentation? If I hadn't gone to add the NaNo word counter, then I'd still be using the same popular password without the system even caring, surely?
