That is no secret unless you are just an ordinary user, you would be better of using a 64 digit hexadecimal key if really worried about security.

Then again even with a half decent password no one is really going to try and crack your network unless they are either sad or desperate.

Most routers tend to only offer 64 bit though.

So I've got it on a USB drive in a notepad file then just a case of copy and paste.
