Easy-To-Remember Techniques for Creating Strong Passwords

1. Your home zip code + your license plate number + your favorite color

2. The above in a different order.

3. The above with your pet's name(s) mixed in.

4. Take a favorite saying or first line of a song, and use the first letter of each word (My country tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing  =MctotSlolftIs)

5. Childhood phone number + mom's middle name


Of course, you can also use free services such as LastPass (which I use) to create and remember randomly generated passwords. I like LastPass www.lastpass.com
because I have collected ALL my passwords (for my computers, email accounts, website logins, phone, everything) in it...and can access it from any computer. All I have to do is remember ONE password (which I developed using one of the techniques above)...and then they are ALL there.
