Spybot routinely cleans out the cookie with my IW password, so I have to re-enter it fairly often. Remember that given enough time, *any* password can be broken by simply using brute force (start with "a", go all the way to "ZZZZZZZZZ" or whatever). Just consider how valuable the stuff you're trying to protect is... like Vaskez said, for financial stuff, pick a good one... but for other stuff, do you *need* to be that secure?
