Did that actually come to fruition? I've seen another thread asking about it, but we never got official word as far as I remember...

Not that I know of.

It's impossible to steal an account if you just create a good password. Like wH35u7yfg0Wrk or something similar (don't actually use that one I just wrote here for obvious reasons ).
Such a random password is impossible to guess; your account will be completely safe and you will not have to fear theft at all, ever.
This is actually bad advice because that password is too random and difficult to remember. The best passwords are two random non sequitor words, seperated by a dash or underscore with numbers and a special character.
Spaceship_Turkey29! For example, its impossible to brute force, easy to remember and does not require compromising confidentiality by writing it down somewhere.
Spaceship_Turkey29! is not very safe. Ending with a ! would be a common thing to do so you can bet the hackers are trying such things first. The same with making the first letter of each word capitalized and using two common words like spaceship and turkey and seperating with underscore. Even adding that two digit number is a common thing to do. That password would probably range somewhere between weak to fair on the password scale.
Imo it's always a good idea to write down your passwords in a safe location if you should forget it and my post was made with this in mind, but I did not type that out, and I should have for clarity. Of course this requires you to understand how to store passwords in a safe location and the average non-tech savvy person are perhaps not skilled enough(?) or may never be able to understand properly(?); I realize that now.
If we could do a compromise of sorts I would say create from imagination four gibberish words and put them together, then add a number after one word. For example: KaptukHolif9TunGH. I would easily enough be able to memorize this and there would not really be anything common here for the hackers to assume a guess on. So while much less safe than my first suggestion, it is still immensely safe AND can easily be memorized.

That type of password will be extremely safe.

Your analysis is based on the fact that you know the example password. A Hacker does Not know the example password. He does Not know the person will even Use a punctuation mark at the end.
