Re:I can't type my 8 char passwords half the time (Score 1)

I think it would be faster for most people that know how to touch type (hunt and peck management types are more or less boned) to type an 8 word phrase than an 8 character random mess.

This is just wrong. While typing basically random passwords may be difficult at first, after a week or so it becomes natural. This is especially true for touch typists, as the fingers learn consistent movements. I and many others type strong passwords quite quickly.
