Yeah, I've read it. It sucks. If an author claims they know something about password security, but don't define entropy, or at least explain it, then the article is worth a grain of salt. The math is just bad. Very, very bad. If you really want password security, coupled with massive amounts of entropy, and 100% platform independence, then I would suggest https://passwordcard.org.
