	 I wonder how much the success that I (and apparently others) have with
	 long pass phrases is due to the fact that we pick our own sentences
	 which have some meaning (presumably) to us.

Yes, that is an issue.  I attempted to compensate for that by not
turning off echoing.  This way, if you pause in the middle, you'll
be able to see where you are.
