A little off topic but,
When I went on vacation earlier in the year (out of the country, so I would
be very unreachable), I was the only one with many of the administrative
passwords used on are systems (yeah, we would have failed the Mack Truck
test).  I didn't want to leave without giving the passwords to someone, but
I also didn't want to really give them the passwords.  What I did was encode
them, and gave the encoded passwords to the director, and then gave the
decoding algorithm to someone else.  That way it'd take both of them to
figure out the password if the need arose.  All the passwords were just
random letters, numbers, and punctuation (I've got a knack for remembering
passwords), so I didn't have to worry about the director cracking the
passwords.

Why not learn to create passwords with the help of a basic system and adding

a haxxor twist to it?
