If a company or website gets hacked, why does it matter how strong my password is? Isn’t it more important that I don’t re-use a password?

If a site gets hacked, am I at any sort of advantage by having a complicated password, or does it not really matter at that point?

The complicated password is so people don’t guess yours specifically.

If the site is hacked and password details leaked then your account is compromised regardless of how strong your password was.

You’re right about having different passwords.
