If you have the option to enter an alphanumeric passphrase, I recommend not using a word at all. Instead, pick a favorite line from a movie or song, and use the first letter of each word as your passphrase. So, if your favorite tune was "Stairway To Heaven", then your line of choice might be, "There's a lady who knows all the glitters is gold and she's buying the stairway to heaven", making your passphrase "talwkatgigasbtsth". This is easy to remember, easy to type, will never get hacked in a dictionary attack, and is a seriously formidable challenge to all but the best rainbow table attacks.
