How to Create a Strong Password That You Can Remember


So here you are, knowing that you need a strong password, but how are you supposed to remember *Dsq#}3frP and 17 other uniquely random passwords for all your various accounts?

The answer is that you can use some personal information that will be easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess. Here is how:

Step 1.

Start with a sentence about you or your family. For example:

My sister Joanne is four years older than my brother Matt.

Step 2.

Take the first letter of each word. If you have a number in your sentence use the number. The base password is now:

msji4yotmbm

Step 3.

Make case substitutions. With this sentence, we could use the grammatical capitalization for the password, giving us:

MsJi4yotmbM

Step 4.

Make character substitutions. Finally, look for opportunities to use other characters that will still be easy to remember, such as $ for s. Our final password looks like this:

"M$J!4y0tmbM"

This is a very strong password, nearly impossible to guess, but relatively easy for you to remember.
