To be truly secure, you should not even know your own password.
Rather, it should be a random character generator implanted in your flesh which bases its output on an algorithm which includes the immediate time of day, your BMI, your electrical impedance from left index finger to right big toe measured to six significant figures, your blood type, and a partial sequencing of your DNA.

A case sensitive captcha which consists mostly of Os, 0s, Ss, 5s, Is and ls.
some variation on an old phone number and address should keep you in good standing for quite a while with minor variations.
Puhleaze people!
Passwords are so last century.
It’s all about biometrics these days.
Rectal scanners for everyone!
That is not an amusing answer, try again please.
Colonoscopy. You have to drink two jugs of warm MoviPrep every time you need access to your computer.
Bonus points if you work for a company that doesn’t produce anything anyone in their right mind would ever want to steal.
New biometric sensors are lip based biological entities. You must kiss the receptionist to access data.

I’m in the same boat, 16 characters, 2 upper, 2 lower, 2 special characters, can’t use any of the last 26 passwords, and changed every 60 days or so. I think it actually makes the systems less secure. The combination that I use is pretty easy to figure out. It only has about 200 possible combinations if you know what pattern I use.
I was thinking of a report from over 10 years ago. The company prohibited smoking on the premises. Not even in the privacy of one’s own car.
My password is Graham’s number.
It must be in the form of a phrase or sentenced never uttered before in the history of man.
That’s why my password is “Tom Cruise is not gay”.
I have a friend who works his way through ww2 japanese battleship names combined with US battleship hull numbers.
For some reason, japanese BS names are not in the dictionary that their IT system uses =)
And now, you’ve ruined it! 
They aren’t serious about security if there’s no DNA sequence verification.
I used to be able to use the same password for everything I need a password for at work. Now, due to differing rule changes, I have no fewer than 3 at any given time. The only way I can keep all my passwords straight these days is to write them all on a post-it note stuck in my desk drawer. Which, of course, really helps to make everything more secure!
Passwords must include:
A phase of the moon
2 Greek letters
The logo of a fast-food chain
At least 2 but no more than 3 cartoon characters (Hanna-Barbera excluded)
A coffee bean that has passed through the digestive tract of an Asian Palm Civet
The Lost Ark of the Covenant
Oh my. It must take you all. freaking. day. just to log in. :eek:
