I wouldn't want to forget my pass for the wallet, and i'm sure it will require some long string of text for good encryption so that will be one more piece to worry about it's safety and security.

Just don't store more than a couple hundred for each bitcoin account and keep important passwords in a hidden truecrypt volume. Funny thing about truecrypt is you can make a database of files layers upon layers deep. Hell you could probably do 20 layers and they'll never get to it. But I digress.
I actually hope they don't come up with any password recovery or method of recovery, this gives a sense of security.
Use a password manager if nothing else.
