The problem with changing your password so often, even if you use a mnemonic, as I do, to remember several different passwords, is it there are so many of them. Also, there are several variations within the Numonics paradigm which can lead you to strike out on login sites that don't allow you more than two or three attempts. In this case, I was contention that the Gmail password site indicated that it was a strong level of security.
