I think the time isn't that far away when everyone who wants to be online fulltime will be, like cablemodem and dsl users are now. So it wouldn't be a bad idea to get used to decent passwords. That's only part of the story though of course. An easy trick for making a password that's hard to guess but easy to remember is to use the first letter of each word in the first line of a song you know well. Maybe add your favorite number at the end or start. Course if you're a burnt-out 60's druggie then it's pretty easy to guess that the song is Stairway to Heaven :)
