I figured that the password file would store them encrypted but thought it was worth asking encase it wasn't.
I think the easyest solution is to use "normal sized" passwords
If someone could try 1 billion of passwords per second for your account, it would still take them more than 400 years in average to find a 10-character password (with all the characters availlable on qwerty keyboard and the shift key). for a 16-character password, it would take 500 billion times more attemps.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I really don't think adding 84 chars to that is necessary
If you want to go easy on the typing, a random 20-char a-zA-Z password is already stronger than the 16-char all characters password discussed above.
