    You're probably right that most people won't be able to cope with the types of
    passwords that my process generates. I do use that sort of process with the
    systems I administer at work, and my users, though they complain about the
    complexity of the passwords, do find that the mnemonic clue -- the sentence
    -- helps them quite a bit. Of course my office, while not full of hackers or
    crackers, is full of people who understand my paranoia and who are willing to
    play along. ;-)

    For outside folks who have occasional need to access our system, I do use a
    simple password generator which creates passwords like gras4mos and
    such-like.
