Security and Passwords

 For some years now I have been using passwords that have the form of
familiar (and rememberable) words with crucial letters doubled.  For
example, for years my password on the Univac 1100 was "AGGNEW" and my
standard low-security password was "NIXXON"...  This last from analogy
with EXXON and a certain cartoon in the National Lampoon...
