Yeah, me too - I decided to make things harder for a dictionary attacker
by using capitalization, punctuation, letters, numbers and misspelling. 
I suspect I only made it harder on myself.

No, there are no shortcuts.  Thankfully you don't have to do it all
that often.

If you haven't discovered it already, a time saver is that when you get
your character, you can just press the next button to enter the next
character, you don't have to scroll right.  But if it's a character
mapped to the same number you either have to scroll or wait for the
cursor to advance.

In my case, I'm doing this with a universal remote that doesn't show
letter mapping with the numbers, so the first 5-6 characters are wild
guesses.

BTW there was a recent post that referenced a blog where the blogger
insisted that 10 characters was good enough.  I'm still using a
63-character passphrase though.

I'm curious - you say a bunch of SB3s.  How many?  Are you getting into
whole-house Squeezeboxing?  :-)
