A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

MODERATORS
Just to be clear: there is no reason anybody should be typing a password in 2025, other than maybe their master password for a keyvault. Also, 14 characters is not secure*. It needs to be at least 16, and that's if you generate it randomly.
Four randomly selected words, XKCD style is also good
Aren't dictionary bruteforcing really efficient ?
Kind of, but also it doesn't matter much: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/microsoft-entra-blog/your-paword-doesnt-matter/731984
In the context of things that rely on passwords for security it matters very much.
The Microsoft blog post that you reference is about their systems which displace that reliance, for both better and worse.
