HI
 
1st it does not make them untouchable
 
Next, MOST applications do not accept Alt+xxx based passwords - very few users 
will use them as well
 
Do your users authenticate via a Radius systems, the web...? Any of these will 
not accept Alt+xxx chars.
 
Most users will have issues using this
 
the following does not make a very memerable password - see how often it is 
remembered?

        Why aren't alt characters feasible alt255 is an easy one for anyone to 
remember and if the policy for passwords dictates the requirement then most 
large firms would accept this especially if it made the password in the current 
view untouchable for the for seable future
