2) If the password changed automatically to a random string every Saturday night (or when prompted by certain persons) and was PMed to the correct people at their next logon, password changing would be pretty infallible, though the idea is that this would be used along with account locking to protect against account theft.

3) Fetch a string array from a DBNPC, or even better, hardcode it into the script. Used with regular password changes and vigilant GPs, this would be virtually infallible.
