> How do you protect against government

In general; you don't. If the gov. wants to make you do something, you're going to have to do it. In many western countries, that's only a vague threat, an many others it's a lot more real.

Theoretically, you could have two components to the password: something long and random that is written down, and something easily remembered and personal. A special moment, a place, an anniversary only the two of you would know, etc.

What benefit does the long random part provide?

[mecha_ghidorah]

It prevents it being guessed. The memorable part protects against someone finding the written down/recorded random portion and using it since they don't have the remembered part, but the remembered part on it's own is somewhat vulnerable to guess work

Bruteforce protection.
