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
