Microsoft tells users to stop using strong passwords everywhere

For better or worse I have a few levels of passwords and their password strength. For most websites I use a simple password that never changes. For shopping websites I have a fairly strong password that changes once in a while and for banks, social networks, Apple ID, and google I use a strong password that changes about every three months.

The problem with this system is many websites won't allow you to use the same password over again. Other services force you to change the password if you submit 3 wrong guesses. (Not to mention the varying rules on what characters your password can consist of.) So between these two rules and the dozens of websites, the system grows chaotic pretty fast. There should be some standardization for changing submitting and handling passwords.

Apple: why is it when I change my Apple ID password, I have reenter it for FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud, and iTunes, on my iPad, iPhone, my home laptop, and my work computer? How about one password entry per device and call it a day...
