Can you remember the password: 0d1w+@Sa$! without writing it down? Yes, it is possible with repetition, you might be able to remember it. It may seem overwhelming, but there is a way to do this and not go crazy!
The best method for generating passwords is to do the following:
1.
Make up a sentence you can easily remember such as “I have two kids: Jack and Jill” or “I like to eat Dave & Andy's ice cream”
2.
Now take the first letter of every word in the sentence, and include the punctuation. You can throw in extra punctuation, or turn numbers into digits for variety. The above sentences would become:
- Ih2k:JaJ
- IlteD&A'ic
This is easy and manageable.
