This is a very interesting set of problems to solve. 

1) My password is not secure enough
2) My password is too difficult to remember
3) My password is too difficult to type

I'm not sure a blacklist is the right approach. If someone really wants to use 
their first name as their password that's up to them. But, if they're using 
their first name because they can't think of something better, that may be an 
area where we can help.  What ideas do people have?

Subject: 10,000 Top Passwords (cross post)

(Sent earlier to dev-identity list, but relevant to you all as well.) 

"91% of all user passwords sampled all appear on the list of just the top 1,000 
passwords."

If true, it's hard to argue that passwords alone are strong enough to secure 
accounts. Create a blacklist? I would love to help people concoct their own 
password scheme and improve password management at the same time.
