That might not be the case; not all passwords are created equal.

As an example, my password to some goofy online game that requires registration is nowhere near as strong as the password required to log into my work email account - for some things, I prioritize being able to type a password in quickly on a mobile device over the danger of someone breaking in and playing a low-scoring word in online scrabble.
