Writes binary right handed and hex left handed
What do you mean? Well I can say the passwords with letters, numbers and symbols are the safest and hardest to crack.

You should require at least 7 characters with one uppercase character and one shift character (!@#$%^&*()) and one number. This seems to be a good password scheme.

If you make them too hard users will right them down which will undermine your whole password scheme.

Yeah, I agree, too. Making the password too hard will affect you as well, just make it moderate and use a word/phrase/numbers or a mix of all them that is known to you.

Let the user assign his own password but put some rules in place. The one Jordan mentioned above seems good.

No meaning are the hardest to remember, though, and will cause your users to write the password down somewhere.

Yes, but it's a good thing. I have all my passwords written down, I don't want to be hacked :D

Aren't you afraid of someone reading or stealing the paper you wrote them down on?

I think the best password scheme is a password PHRASE that you then convert to letters, symbols, numbers, etc.
Something Wicked This Way Comes becomes
5w+wC!.23
5 = S from something, w is obvious, + is the T, w is obvious again, C is from comes, an Exclamation point, a period, and then a couple of numbers, I usually use a set of numbers based on something or another, the last 2 digits in the IP address, or the first 2 digits, or if I'm changing the passwords multiple times, it might that particular iteration, or whatever. But the point is that I use a pass phrase and then haxor it up. So it's easy enough to remember even though it looks like some random letters, symbols. I try to use quotes that are somewhat known, but not TOO well known
Neither a borrower or lender be:
n @ brlb!.38 (spaces added to avoid this thing auto creating a hyperlink)
WWIII will be fought with sticks and stones: (Albert Einstein)
ww3wbfw5&5
All the worlds a stage:
@ +wa5 . 23 again, with a dot and some numbers after it.
anyways, those are some of my ideas.
- pass phrase, take first letters of each phrase, haxor it up.
Easy to remember, hard to figure out, in my opinion.
Don't worry, I didn't give you guys any of MY passwords. Doh!
