		kingsley_20 on Aug 11, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Xkcd Password Generator If you're bi-lingual in a non-european language, transliterating obscure phrases from the other language could work well. For example, the poetic title திரிகூடராசப்பகவிராயர் would transliterate to thirikUdarAsappaKavirAyar. Add some subs & punctuations and I'm done - very rememberable (at least for me) :).

Assuming there are 1024 languages in the world you added 10 bits of entropy. That can be achieved adding an extra common word.
