I was going to answer the poll, then realized my answer doesn't fit in the margin provided.

My approach to passwords these days is to pick completely random sequences that are fast to type and have some non-alphanumeric characters. My passwords are thus completely non-mnemonic and usually more in my muscle memory than in my mind, although I find it helps to create ones that are vaguely pronounceable. (Since I work on Unix, they're also necessarily 8 characters long.)

I want fast to type because I feel that this is the best way to stand up to the only pragmatic security threat I can do anything about, which is people watching me when I have to log in in semi-public. Besides, fast to type means easy to type which means less annoying. I have to deal with some passwords that have to be carefully and slowly typed out and nnngh.
