If you also can choose your account name, use it as sort-of additional password space.

I have accounts with several instances where I could give you my password without running much risk of you logging in; even if their phone support would give out my account name, chances are they or you would misspell the line noise that it looks like.

Yes, Schwab does let you choose your account name. I'm not sure how many chars it can have.
