Prove I have access to a remote server first.

  With the kind of data the various agencies are amassing, that'd be childs play, if they were made available to them.

  And don't forget that, in the US if a federal agent asks you the question, "Do you have access to any remote servers?" and you answer with a direct lie, even if they are not acting in the course of an investigation, you have violated the law[1] by speaking a falsehood to a federal agent. In fact, you've committed a felony. And before you argue, "Well, they'd never use that for something so trivial," remind yourself of what you used to believe that the government would never do. (And I wonder today how many people are accused and convicted under that particular law.) [1] http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1001 http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1001

    Not only that, but people have absolutely been charged with felonies for doing exactly that. Do not ever lie to federal agents.

    Don't use a password. Use a private key, print it as a QR code, and mail it (or multiple copies thereof) to your new address (or to someone you trust). Then you can answer honestly, and they can't access your servers.
