No. I really don't want to have to pull out a sheet of paper from my wallet to get into every single workstation.

is a password which would take hundreds of thousands of years to crack via force, and I certainly am not worried that you would hack it. However, I can recall it in seconds. One of 25 passwords if need be.
I think we are all talking about different things. A password for my server may be longer and more difficult, yet I don't want that complexity for my workstations (even if getting in there is about as dangerous).
IT network specialists who specialize in security tend to recommend eight to nine characters with one uppercase or one lowercase and a number in the middle. This password should be derived by a an easy to remember phrase where the password could only be derived from knowing the phrase, a phrase, of course, that has nothing to do with a user's demographics, hence a phrase made up via the admin. The reason the IT specialist does not want a password such as $%7hYY(82yY is because the only way the user can remember that is to put it on a sticky note behind their monitor.
