One question: So, 6 months is long enough for you to use a longer
passphrase, but 1 week is not. Where is the line? 

and Two suggestions: 

1. Use a password manager? I recommend 'pass' it's quite simple, uses
gpg and files in a git repo. Then you fas password is just a 'pass -c
fas' away. 

2. Use a passphrase you can remember. Isn't:

My FAS password is long, but I can always, always remember it.!

easier to remember than some

string?
