Choosing good passwords is also aggravated by password aging.
The problem is that the user is suddenly told to choose a new
password immediately.  A local program (which I can't share
but someone out there could write easily) gives you a reminder
when you login if your password is going to expire within a
week.  This gives you plenty of time to cook up a good password.
