My passwords, etc. are similarly protected, but it should be noted that storing the sparse image's p/w in your keychain leaves its p/w no stronger than your keychain's, because it will be auto-entered.

In my instance, my sparse image's p/w is not stored in my keychain and is protected by a much stronger p/w, because the info it contains is far more critical. (I never allow keychain to auto-enter critical p/w's.)
