Come on, how many passwords do you still see pasted on monitors, or sticky's on the desktop?
Unless your machine is in an easily accessible place, that seems perfectly reasonable to me. I'd rather have users who write down complex passwords than ones that use "password1" for everything.
I work for a K-12 public school system... and most of the passwords I see like this *are* [lastname][current year], or something equally guessable. Oh, and these are the faculty. I really want to send out an email at the beginning of every school year; "All faculty should make three copies each of their house and car keys, and attach them to 3"x5" index cards containing the address/license # and description of each property. Please have these delivered to the Technology Department as soon as possible, so we may have them distributed randomly about our schools when the students arrive to begin this year. If you take exception to this, please consider how we feel about your doing the same with our keys, the ones we call passwords." Think anyone would read it? No more than they do those annoying boxes which pop up asking for credentials...
