I suggest people use mnemonics to make passwords - like

"She'll be coming around the mountain when she comes!"

That could be a reminder for

S'bca7wsc!

or

!csw7ab'S

making a simple substitution of 7 for t


It's then relatively safe to leave a sticky with the phrase hanging about.

Of course the phrase should be longer, and can even get more creative - like embedding the password in the first and last column of a 4 line phrase

They are creepy and they're kooky,
mysterious and spooky -
They are all together ooky
The A-d-ams Fam-ily!

The password would be "'T,m-TyT!" (better text would make a better password).
