In this article, you will learn about five ways to create a strong password. But it will be difficult for others, but not for you.
Only at first glance, unbreakable passwords do not contain a logical structure and look like gibberish. Complex passwords are such only for those who do not know the recipe for their creation. You do not need to memorize the case of letters, numbers, special characters and their order. All you need to do is choose a memorable base and follow simple tips for creating strong passwords.
Children's rhymes
We take any nursery rhyme or counting rhyme as the basis for the password. It is desirable that it is found only in your area and is not generally known. And better than your own composition! Although any childish rhyme will do, the main thing is that the lines sit firmly in your head from a young age.
The password will consist of the first letters of each word. Moreover, the letter will be written in upper case if it is the first in the sentence. We replace some letters with similarly written numbers (for example, "h" for "4", "o" for "0", "z" for "3"). If you don't want to get too confused about replacing letters with numbers, look for a counting-ringer that already contains numbers. Don't forget the punctuation marks that separate words and sentences - they come in handy.
Example:
The turtle's tail is between its legs
And she ran after the hare.
Was in front
Who does not believe - come out!
We replace the letters "h", "z" and "o" with similar numbers. The second, third and fourth lines start with capital letters and are therefore written in uppercase. We include four punctuation marks. Of course, we write in Russian letters, but on the English keyboard layout.
4 [gB33g.0d, Ryd-d!
The 17-character password is ready! It may not be perfect as it contains repeated characters, consecutive lowercase letters and numbers. But to call it simple, the language will certainly not turn.
Favorite sayings
The scheme is similar to children's counting rhymes. Only as a basis you take your favorite and very memorable phrases of thinkers, celebrities or movie heroes. You can complicate your life a little by replacing the letter "h" not with "4", but with "5", for example. There are never too many confusing maneuvers!
Example:
I found out that I have
There is a huge family:
River, field and woods, In the field - every spikelet …
We replace the letter "h" with "8", do not forget about the upper case and punctuation marks.
Ze, 8evTjc ^ H, g, bk, Dg-rr …
Jargon and terminology
This implies the use of professional jargon, understandable to an extremely narrow number of people. These words are much more distant from the ordinary person than the criminal sayings widely covered on television and on the streets of any city.
For example, you can use a hospital discharge or a tricky medical definition.
Example:
Cyclopentanperhydrofenanthrene is a 28-letter term. It turns out a bit long, so I propose to throw out the vowels and dilute the remaining consonants with uppercase.

Memorable dates
Of course, your birthday or the day you start your family life is not the best basis for a password. The event should be of exceptional importance, and only you should know about it. For example, this might be the day you first ate gum, ran away from class, or broke your heel. Since the basis of the password will be numbers, it is not superfluous to mix them with letters.
Example:
1983-22-10 and 2011-16-06
Replace the periods separating the day, month and year with any letter, for example the small English “l”, which is very similar to the quite often used “/” separator. We put an underscore "_" between the dates. We replace zeros with the letters "o".

Visual key
Use the smartphone unlocking technique on your keyboard as well. Think of any shape and "slide" your finger along its contours.
Do not forget to go over the numbers, change the horizontal and vertical direction of movement. And show, unlike me, your imagination!
Conclusion
The proposed ways to create a memorable, but at the same time quite difficult to understand from the side of the password can be changed and combined at your discretion. It is enough to think over your super password once, and you can use it without fear in the presence of a stranger.
