Another good tip, feature. That. Could. Work. For the parents. Maybe. I could print out the list of 10 and give it to them and say, listen every 30 days, outlook is going to come looking for a new password to access gMail, just use the next one on the list. Yes, they'd have a printout list of their next ~10 months worth of passwords sitting there (knowing them, right next to their computer). But, it's in their house. On the grand scale, the guy breaking into the house would probably be more interested in the physical computer than what it had access to.
Thanks for the tip.
