How to Build a Secure Password that You Can Remember

September 2nd, 2009 by Alan | No Comments | Filed in Tech Tips

The problem with secure passwords is that they are hard to remember. It’s difficult to recall a string like “(Iw2rtpw#h)”, or is it?

Perhaps if you remember a sentence: . . .

. . . (I want 2 remember this password without pounding headaches) . . .

and take the first letter of each word and substitute the # sign for pounding. It will be easy. It will be difficult for a hacker too because there is no obvious combination of words from the dictionary, and because you are using a combination of symbols, “(” ,”)”, “#”, and numbers “2″ and letters.
