What I suggested wasn't perfect by any measure, but it produced better passwords than what they were originally using and let them use complex passwords without to much worry of losing the passwords.
One thing I wish is that sites would email customesr when their passwords comes under attack or just let the customer have access to the record of the login attempts to an account.

HUNDREDS of passwords! and they probably get really angry if you confuse or forget your passwords don't they.
Sounds like your almost to the point of asking yourself if the computers holding the data should be on the internet at all.
The only advice I have for working with such a large number of long passwords that change so quickly is to create a private cipher based on rolling dice and write down those numbers so that you can recover the password anytime you confuse or forget it.
Example cipher (don't actually use this one it's not completely defined and did I say it was "simple"
Take 1 to 6 books and a some dice and then roll up 64 random numbers and write them down.
Every 4th number in the sequence of 64 numbers is the book you use and the 3 preceding numbers is the page number in that book with the whole number part of the square root of the 3 digit number being the word count on the page the 3 digits pointed at.
If the number is greater than the word count on the page use the first 3 digits of the square of the 3 digit number in the password.
If the page is blank or has only a picture then square root the number again and if whole part is less than 7 then use that number a dash and a X.
If you can pick a word from the page and that word contains the letters L, I, T or H then you pick the first and last letters of the word only.
If the word doesn't have the above 4 letters then pick the next character in the word and use that.
if the....
you get the idea.
Passwords almost makes me want to use a program that checks the typing pattern for typing a long rarely changing password instead of the password being critical.
