I've been on Gmail for about ten years, I think. It works for me - although every six months or so they update it, and I whine and bitch for a couple of weeks until I realise it actually works better now.

There's an XKCD cartoon somewhere about how we've been trained to choose passwords which are very hard for humans to remember, and very easy for computers to guess.
