At one point in time, I ran across a Javascript password generator that
worked amazingly well, provided that you could have arbitrarily-long
passwords.  It would generate a trio of pronounceable words.  One of the
passwords it generated for me years ago was:

   lauret-roanky-ximend

Easy to remember, easy to type, impossible to guess.
