We're doing it here.  And I welcome it, although it does mean I have to
remember more passwords.  (And that includes Administrator passwords I have
to remember).

But I've been doing something similar for my private passwords anyway.  I
try to use different passwords for things of low, medium and high security,
and have more than one in each category.

I'd rather have more security and have the hassle of occasionally having to
try more than one password.  But don't ever make a password you might forget
- or can't retrieve some other way ...

Subject: RAINdrop: Too many passwords

This is an interesting article on the nearly ubiquitous practice of
changing passwords frequently for security purposes. Because of the
number of passwords needed and the frequency that they must be changed,
many users are writing them down thwarting the very reason for the
frequent changes.
