Memorable passwords for programmers

Those of us running Mac OS X are spoilt by Keychain Access. It's no help, of course, to have a password stored in your Mac's keychain if you're at an Internet café unable to access it. Thus, memorable passwords are still useful.

Those of us who write code can create passwords riddled with spaces and punctuation without resorting to the use of random strings of characters. Here's a "JavaScript" password, for example:

var favourites = { book: 'Collapse', game: 'Agricola', site: 'ted.com' };

Carefully written passwords wrapping personal information in programming syntax should be both strong and memorable. I'm sure Perl programmers could write some concise, cryptic passwords using this approach. ;)
