I agree with you here Kenneth, passwords are usually the weak link in
the security equation.  I am a strong believer in pass-phrases.  Using
something like IHatE8traFFic%inDMornING* would offer a strong password
and something that the user would be able to remember better than a
randomly generated strong password.
