At the same time, we should keep in mind that the core issue here is that a few listadmins appear to have used the same password for listadmin duties as they were using for other accounts.  All the password protection systems in the world are not going to change what happened here, if people are going to use obviously insecure, shared passwords as personal passwords as well.
