One method of generating many easily remembered passwords is to use the
first letters of the words of a favorite quotation, e.g.: nitwood, from
the opening line of Richard III.  When it is time to change the password, 
move up one or more words to begin: twoodmg.  This provides several passwords
that are relatively secure.
