I have a file on my computer that is gpg encrypted with the passwords for
my 400+ logins.  There just is no way to remember that many passwords.
That is why I use password phases for ssh logins and disable password
logins on my machines.  So I understand this very well.  But I really feel
that root and the admin need strong passwords.
