    Not at all. It will lead to easier to type passwords, likely. But that doesn’t mean shorter. This could easily be filled with passwords that are four words long with special characters interspersed.

      Which you then have to type out every time. Laziness wins: they will be shorter.

      The assumption is that the product is for non-savvy users. They might not even understand what you wrote up there.

      Autocorrect can help here, but dictionary words are easily brute-forced, esp. when they’re enclosed by special characters. And that hypothetical user would have to come up with that idea in the first place. But people who come up with such ideas usually already use password managers anyhow.
