As a matter of policy, the passwords that have the greatest need to
be secure ought to be more difficult to remember - they can't be
written down or frequently used (the latter nullifies this and the
latter weakens it). As a general principle, any password that
requires you to sit there for a few minutes just to figure out what
it was, has greater security.
The same could apply to other areas. Take the physical token you
carry around with you all the time, versus the one that is locked up
in the vault at a local bank - someone mugs you for the everyday
token and doesn't get the ability to make any severe changes.
