Good idea. But, since a strong password is - bearing mind likely onset of quantum computing - at least 14 •random• characters (lower case, upper, number: 14bn years) or 13 (same + at least 1 symbol: 11 bn years), how do they plan to mandate that without also mandating use of password managers?Good idea.

A 14 character, letters/symbols/numbers password will be utterly trivial to crack within a year or two. Multi-factor authentication is the way ahead. Either that or just make all your data public and stop worrying about it.

Anyone who isn't using a password manager is asking to get hacked and soon. Apple iThings come with a password manager that generates 18 character upper/lower case letter & number passwords. I assume Windows has something similar.
