Creating passwords doesn't have to be difficult. Many times people incorporate their children's name, their birth date or their graduation year. People also turn to online password generators that create passwords. These passwords can be difficult to remember, but difficult to guess. Mnemonics can make it easier to remember your passwords. It could be a description of a picture or a phrase from a song. For example, a line from the song "da doo ron ron" goes "I picked her up at 7 and my heart stood still" By taking the first letter of each word you get the password iphua7amhss. Any of the letters could be capitalized to make the password stronger. A picture of Whistler's mother could be described as "an old women facing a black curtain sitting in a chair". The first letter of each word makes the password aowfabcsiac. Adding a special character or capital letters can make this password stronger. Keep in mind that this isn't the most secure way to generate password but their is a balance between security and usability. This option is much better than other options that make it much easier to guess.
