Why complicate matters?

I encourage my users to write down their passwords, it means they are more likely to choose difficult-to-crack passwords.

The only caveat is that they must treat their passwords as they do their credit cards. They should be kept on them at all times, and if they lose them or they are stolen we are informed.

Because no one seems to have mentioned this already, there is a handy little program available for linux called “apg” (advanced password generator). What it does it create passwords out of noises or phonemes, because you can actually pronounce the password it’s much easier to remember.
