Just a suggestion - check out "apg". It's a program that generates
pronouncable passwords made up of selections from the different character
possibilities. It is configurable in many ways and uses input from the
user to generate a random seed. The latter makes it pretty hard to
generate the same list twice.
eg
Raj3 (Raj-Three)
Lib1 (Lib-ONE)
Byn0 (Byn-Zero)
....
You can combine 2 or more of these into a password that is pretty good and
also easy to remember.
Raj3Lib1Byn0
Or separate the pronouncable components with punctuation characters for
more complexity.
Raj1.Lib1,Byn0?
