Create a strong and memorable password in 5 steps

  • Think of a sentence that you can remember.For example pass phrase like "I Have 2 sisters and 1 brother."

  • Check if the computer or online system supports the pass phrase directly.

  • If the computer or online system does not support pass phrases,convert it to a password like "Ih2sa1b",first letter of each word of the sentence.

  • Add complexity by mixing uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers.It is valuable to use some letter swapping or misspellings as well.For instance,in the pass phrase above,consider misspellings Hav,or substituting the word "two" for the number 2.There are many possible substitutions,and the longer sentence,the more complex your password can be.Your passphrase might become "I HaVe twO sisters And1 BrOther" n if it is rejected then make it as a "IhTSa1b"

  • Finally,substitute some special characters,You can use symbols that look like letters,combine words(remove spaces)and other ways to make the password more complex.Use these tricks,we create a password of "Ih@vE2$&1b".
