Interesting little history piece, but I did not see any evidence that password complexity rules don’t help which i think was supposed to be the point of the article.

The article leads with the US Government changing their recommendations on password policies, so the assumption is that they’ve done the homework. Still, yeah, I’d have been interested to see the details.
