The more powerful password cracking gets, means that we need to use more difficult passwords to crack. However, I doubt that would stop them just slow them down.
The best solutions, which we will probally see more of, is the use of CAPTCHA, and blocking time and attempt limitations eg. if a password is entered incorrectly more than 5 times no more attempts are allowed for 1 hour.
I know with my bank now, if I put in the wrong password 3 times my online account is blocked and I have to phone up and answer lots of security questions to get it unblocked, if I get them wrong I have to wait 5 days for a new activation code to be posted to me.

Same applies to my bank and although it is a pain it is a good idea
