Google recommends pronounceable passwords

Re: VMS had this in the early 80s

That takes me back - it reminds of the hilarious (and I believe genuine?) support call where a user complained that although the password obscenity filter was a useful feature, it lacked internationalisation, then helpfully provided translations to several languages. The footnotes were the best bit - e.g. "the female breast is never offensive in Danish". It would be great if someone still has a copy.
