For posterity, I'd recommend using a passphrase if you're sharing with family. If you're using the diceware method, you get 12.9~ bits of entropy per word.

So a three or four word passphrase should be sufficient, and is much easier to memorize + tell to someone.

It especially helps with the dreaded "what's the wifi password?"
