I was trying to come up with a pseudo slavic sounding name for a new email account. I jumbled letters left and right but seemed to always find that name somewhere on the Internet!
Assuming you use the mix of capitals and lower case letter, plus numerals, plus symbols other than colons or brackets or slashes, you should be able to come up with more than 37 million combinations by not repeating anything. If you repeat a letter, number, or symbol, you have even more possibilities. Then of course, switching the order of the figures gives you still more.
I remember an inspiring comic; the queen is reminding the king that he should use a different password for the drawbridge over the moat. How many different passwords can the average person remember?
I think an effective solution would be to track down and punish all hackers and ID thieves. First offense, cut off their hands. Second offense, death.
This is how I feel when I’m in a hurry to access something and it keeps telling me to enter a different password. Nope, not that one, try again. Make a new one. Nope, not that one, it was your last one. (Whaaat?). Try again.

Why do you need a unique password? It only needs to be something that would not normally be associated with that user.
Usernames, on the other hand… I use one that even AO-Hell said was unique. Of course that also tells you how long ago that was…

Being scientists, one could have his password number as pi, and never finish entering it.
