suggest getting secureID tags. basically random number generators that cycle once/minute.

you can't log in without the appropriate random number. irritated me when I had one, but less than needlessly complicated passwords that had to change every couple months.

also, my needlessly complicated passwords were still words, usually centred around a theme, just replace a few letters. eg P@nda&3AR2
