that little voice in your head that is screaming "i hate this" is your problem. It really is not a big deal to type a password, and even to type it a few times, just try to have a more zen attitude about it. It's how passwords work, stop trying to figure out how to defeat your own password, it's doing what it's supposed to do.

A good password doesn't need all that stuff. Just use something of sufficient length. A sentence, for example.

This may help, some special characters dump the keyboard back to the primary keyboard, so create a password that is letters, then numbers/specials, then the ' character, then more letters.

for example, pass2'word would only require you to hit the alt-keyboard switch once.
