How to cre­ate strong and eas­ily remem­bered password

From ZoneAlarm:

1. Make up a sen­tence with 10 words — This is my strong and easily remem­bered pass­word for login.
2. Use the first let­ter of each word — tim­saerpfl
3. Cap­i­tal­ize the some of the let­ters, like the first 3, or every 3^rd let­ter, etc — TIMsaerPLF
4. Add two num­bers that are mean­ing­ful to you — TIM35saerPLF
5. Punc­tu­ate at the begin­ning and end — ~TIM35saerPLF^

And there you have it. This is my strong and eas­ily remem­bered pass­word for login — ~TIM35saerPLF^

You can check your pass­word strength here. The strength for the above pass­word is “Very Strong”.

By the way, don’t use the same pass­word to login to every­thing. If one account gets com­pro­mised, dozens will be too. Use a Pass­word Man­ager like KeeP­ass, a free open source pass­word man­ager or an online ser­vice like Last­Pass. It’s free for basic fea­tures and for pre­mium it costs only $1 per month.
