I agree that this hint is more ridiculous than simply using AES-256 via the command line and picking a VERY good password. Once.

The problem is that what most people would actually do is keep using the same old easy to remember / easy to guess password when they switch to AES-256, thinking they are more secure just because they switched algorithms. If the password length doesn't exceed 128 bits / 16 characters, what is the point of going to AES-256?
