i have read where there are people who have actually used the word password as their password
above is how i would change password to be a better password
eg 2u would replace the w or the double u or 2u
although not a perfect password its better
what i do is do at least 8 characters making sure to use some caps some numbers some symbols
i usually will write a sentence or look one up in some written material
then take the first letter of each word
use it or cap it or change it to a number or a symbol
when i get to >8 i figure thats enough
so what i have is a random password that makes no sense
its harder to remember of course
but
its much more secure than
something like my birthday and address etc
which is easier to hack than the random one
now the harder to remember one is what i am after
besides the better security
why
well
if you are in my situation or if you are worrying about getting memory loss
one of the things that will happen will you will start having trouble remembering your passwords
when i get my interviews for the alzheimers research studies they will commonly ask you
do you have trouble remembering your passwords
well
i usually smile
and
say
nope never
so each morning i make my coffee then head over to my laptop
i have to log onto my computer
so i type in my random password that makes no sense
then
its on to one google email then another google email then another email then my blog facebook page then my personal facebook then my twitter account then my blog page
later after my blog is all done
i log onto my financial accounts that will be 2 or 3 of them
then i might log onto my credit card account
all of these different accounts have different passwords
all randomly designed
so each morning after i have finished my computer time
i sit back
smile
take a deep breath
sigh
a sigh of relief
since
i know that my memory is ok that day since i remembered all ten of my passwords
that are no where near looking similar
yep
my memory is intact today
im good
