A strong password does not have to be hard to remember. The trick is to make it long. Length matters more than odd symbols.

Try a short phrase of a few words that means something to you. Something like a happy memory. Add a number or two to make it stronger.

Pick words that are not easy to guess about you. Avoid your name, birthday, or pet's name. Those are too easy for others to find.

Use a different password for each important account. That way one problem does not open every door.

Try this
  1. Think of three or four words you will remember.
  2. Put them together into one long phrase.
  3. Add a number or a capital letter for strength.
  4. Avoid using your name or birthday.
  5. Use a new one for each important account.
