Ah, never saw it expressed this way before.
However your statement re: 32-bits for banking does beg the question why would you use that when their own chart says that is "weak"?
Password strength is determined with this chart, which might be a bit of a stretch for a non-critical password:
< 28 bits = Very Weak; might keep out family members
28 - 35 bits = Weak; should keep out most people, often good for desktop login passwords
36 - 59 bits = Reasonable; fairly secure passwords for network and company passwords
60 - 127 bits = Strong; can be good for guarding financial information
128+ bits = Very Strong; often overkill
This is all greek to me. AKA, you lost me.
