@Jerome: Paddy was referring to the password when full disk encryption is in use, not the one used to protect a user account. Normally the pass-phrase used for full disk encryption this is an automatically created, awkward and long phrase, hard to type in without making mistakes, let alone memorize.

However, @Paddy, your argumentation is flawed in the sense to assume that full disk encryption necessarily is a sane default and should be forced on a user. True, it is an elegant excuse instead fixing bugs when the kernel is communicating with the BIOS, UEFI or the graphics stack, which are the most occurring reasons for failing resume from S3, S4 suspends.
