Not with passwords of their choice.

You could use SSS in combination with BIP to derive a set of 12 or 24-word passphrases, this might be a bit more user friendly.

BIP39 is the Bitcoin standard which defines the process to generate the human readable "recovery phrase" for a Bitcoin wallet based on the private key. It's a list of 2048 pre-defiend words. Your private key is chunked into 11bit groups (with a few bits for a checksum) and then assigned the corresponding word.
