break your password into two hands' worth of typing, the first part on one hand is the same string of gibberish at all locations, the second hand adds a location-specific suffix of shorter gibberish.
If you pick a simple algorithm for going from location to suffix, you only have one hard-to-divine string to memorize -- and that's the hand you practice all the time.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go shoo some kids off the lawn...
