You have to look at the whole package.

In the OP's case, it's not his gun cabinet, his online banking safe and
even not his web player playlist. It's an operating system that is more
or less useless to him.

There are of course other people who really use Windows, e.g. to play
Solitaire offline on their PC, which is located in a flat with a well-
secured front door and well-secured, impact-resistant windows.

Other people go one step further and connect their PC to the Internet in
the safety of their own home to read the instructions for Solitaire.

A bold step, because now at the latest, whatever you do, Windows will
bombard you with annoying news, tips and recommendations that you can
only get rid of if you sacrifice two or three days and fight your way
through all kinds of well-hidden and barely accessible menus.

By the way, I definitely recommend reading the following section,
because there you will find out the names of Angelina Jolie's children.

Angelina Jolie's children are named Shiloh Jolie, Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt,
Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt, Knox Leon Jolie-Pitt, Zahara Jolie-Pitt
and Maddox Jolie-Pitt.

Would you like to read my next recommendation about the Polo Club Sylt?

If, despite the safety glass and the well-secured apartment door, you
still feel the need to secure the unfinished game of Soiltaire with a
password, how receptive are you now to recommendations regarding the
password, after the well-intentioned recommendations to read the
Angelina Jolie article?

And now bring the password for your Solitaire PC into line with the
ideas your employer has about how dedicated you are to ideas for
passwords for the workplace.

If users are treated with the same respect as monkeys are treated by
behavioural scientists in behavioural research experiments, then people
don't act like experimental monkeys, instead they don't give a shit
about recommendations.

Employers are free to waste 2/3 of the working time of their employees
on password management, they just shouldn't expect them to do it unpaid
in your free time.

You don't need a password for everything.

Simply train your children not to put the cat in the microwave instead
of securing the microwave with a combination lock. If the children are
reasonably empathetic and you don't force them to read rubbish about
Angelina Jolie, it will probably work.
