Memorize Password Easily

* Try the diceware method.
* Change numbers into Roman numerals for more security (i.e. iamcool2 becomes iamcoolii). You can even mix normal numbers and Roman numerals. 1i = 11; 1ii = 12; and so on.
* When coming up with a mnemonic sentence, try and make the sentence funny or relevant to yourself. That way you will find it easier to remember the sentence, so you can remember the password.
* The more complex and longer the password, the less likely it is to be cracked but it is often proportionately harder to remember.
* Mixing letters and numbers is always safer than just using numbers or just using letters.
* Try thinking of a name (BOB). Now use only every second letter, being BB. Then go back and plug any other letter you did not type. Your password would be BBO.
* Take the the first four letters of your name (ex: lydi) and the first four letters of the site/program you are using the password for (ex: wiki) and alternate between using the letters in your name and the company (lwyidkii). Optional: add a set of numbers you have memorized to the end.
* You might combine several of these methods and still come up with a truly memorable yet very strong passphrase. You might use a favorite quotation, song lyric, or the advertising slogan you despise most (preferably six words long or more) and create an acronym by using the first letter of each word (Where Would You Like To Go Today = wwyltgt). You can introduce character-word substitutions, like replacing the 'y' (for the word 'you') with a 'u' or 'U', which would give us wwUltgt. Maybe you would substitute some numbers for characters (as in 'leet' = '1337'). Now your passphrase might resemble wwU17g7 or wwU1797. Add standard rules for your personal method such as always capitalizing the first character (or the second, the third, the seventh, whichever tickles you), or inserting an exclamation point after the second character (left out for those sites that do not allow punctuation). Now, you would have Ww!U17g7 or WwU1797, or some such, as a very secure, yet personally memorable passphrase. Using such a method, "Rock on with your bad self" might be transformed into R0!wy85, r0_wY8$, r0Wy_8$, or any number of others.
* If you prefer to have a word that has no symbols or numbers in it, the best thing is for it not to be a word in the dictionary, like 'wazzup'. Also, you can simply substitute letters so it still can sound the same, like this: Crazy = Kraizee. This is not too challenging.
* The most secure passwords contain lowercase letters, capital letters, numbers, AND symbols. This sounds like a bit of a chore but there is an easy way to make all of your passwords fully mixed and more secure: use one of the above methods to create a password with both letters and numbers, and then hold down the shift key while typing part of it. Make a standard of holding down shift for the first four characters, or characters three through seven, or whatever you like. You won't have to stop and remember where you inserted that pesky exclamation point or whether you replaced the 's' with '5' or '$' this time.
* If you say the letters or numbers to yourself as you type them you will begin to get a rhythm this will help to memorize it.
* If you are so inclined, references from a faith text can make good passwords. Choose a passage you can remember, and use the reference for your password.
