Between home and the office, I have over 10 systems that I access; each with a unique password. Based on the security protocol for the specific machine, my passwords are anywhere from 8-26 characters long (only one of them is 8). Most of my systems have passwords that have to be changed monthly, and I can't use any of the past 10 passwords used in that system. It's "fun."
I don't use real words, or sentences in any of my passwords other than my home PC, FWIW.
