But is there a way to check an oracle pw against a dictionary at the time the pw gets changed (and perhaps reject the new pw)? On UX you have the ckpw tool where you can check against a pw dictionary.

I usually use names from books of Kurt Vonnegut Jr.: "tralfamadore" and
"kilgoretrout" are good examples.
Nobody ever has managed to break in. For some reason, not too many
people like "Slaughterhouse B",
"Breakfast of Champions" or "Cat's Cradle". It's the same thing that was
done by US military in WWII:
they used Navajo language as a code. There was no way in heck that the
enemy could learn the language
in short time. Without extensive knowledge of Vonnegut's work, you can't
possibly break in. If you read
all the Vonnegut's books, you deserve to get in.
