I've tried a technique like this, it works wonders if you are near a computer and can copy/paste. As soon as you have some flash login box where you can't paste or you try to log in from your iPhone it becomes extremely painful. Better to use the age old technique found in "Unix System Administration" by Evi Nemeth: Choose a well known phrase or poem or song lyrics. Then pick a letter from each word, and interpolate some weird chars. E.g. Yellow Submarine In the town where I was born, Lived a man who sailed to sea... First letter of each word: IttwIwbLamwsts then interpolate stuff, e.g. "IttwIwb$beatles1968$Lamwsts" Still a pain in the ass to type, but not nearly as painful as a SHA1 or base64 string.
