Hi Mike,

really nice, thanks for that. To allow Latex special characters to be 
contained in passwords one could use \verb<delimiting char> <text as it 
is> <delimiting char> instead of \texttt in the password line of your 
templates. (e.g. # or _ in the password string will make pdflatex hang 
if \texttt is used.)

As the delimiting character I've chosen " here for the sake of clarity, 
actually one can use <tab> to allow " as well in the pw string:
