How to Create a Password that's Easy to Remember and Hard to Crack
Here's a little cartoon that illustrates one of the common pitfalls we fall into when creating passwords. The good news is that it's possible to make a password that's much stronger and much easier to remember.

If you want an easy way to apply this, here's a password generator that will let you use the xkcd method.
Tip: Use a symbol between words

Thx for that
Another good site for generating passwords:
https://www.random.org/passwords/
Those are not based on some pseudo-random generator, but on atmospheric noise. Impossible to remember though...
Also never forget that a site that is offering to create a password for you might be actually used to steal your newly generated password. So in case you use any of these sites, make sure to create a large number of passwords and only use one of those.
If you can remember it then it isn't secure. You need over 128 bits of entropy. This is why steemit generates the password for you and doesn't let users generate their own (without really knowing what they are doing).
Indeed, Steemit is the public site with the highest safety I've ever met on the Internet.
To secure our account, Steemit generates the password for us and does not allow us to set our own password.
I like it, however it is the amount of passwords that creates the memorization complication. I know that having one password for all or most of your accounts is not recommended but, considering the difficulty, would it be alright to do so in this case?
nice post
plz upvot me
I use https://1password.com/ and it's been great. The password generator allows you to create a password of characters or a string of words like the cartoon suggests.
Maybe you can use a password manager were you would use a masterpassword which is created by this method. One that has many characters but easy to remember...
a better password would have some extra numbers at the end.
very interesting!
nice post
