During a recent password audit at a large company, it was found that one receptionist was using the following password:
"MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacramento"
When asked why she had such a long password, she said she was told that it had to be at least eight characters long and include at least one capital.

It's a phrase that can be spoken and is easy to remember, but would be impossible to guess.
