How secure is your password??

I've been informed that dictionary crackers have Klingon! Hu'tegh.
Time to do that which I've put off for a while, the password generator and store software.

we enforce a 30 day password rotation with the last 10 not being able to be reused.

My work has the "enforced regular changing of passwords" policy - really have never seen the benefit of it. If someone finds my password, they could get everything off that they want long before the 30/60/90/whatever day change. If no one knows my password, then it'd as secure after a year and the day i create it. Added to that the problem that people either do simple variations (incremental numbers on the end, for example), defeating the point of changing it, or if they try to make it complex they will usually write it down, then i can only see that it's less secure than keeping one (enforced complexity) password for a longer persiod of time.
