It may be more work for IT but if you had to decide between having your valuable information taken because somebody thought "Password" was a good password (and there was a time when it was, sans network, sans Internet) and having to reset for people not smart enough to find a good easy to remember password, which would you pick?

Essentially the same method can be used to remember a password or stars
