The Password Method
1. Choose a phrase of between 12 and 20 characters. Remember, windows based systems can often not take passwords longer than 16 characters, so keep that in mind. Start with ALL lowercase.
My sample phrase is:
i like feeding cats = 16 characters
2. Change every 2nd word to start with a capital letter, starting from the first or the second word, as you like. I will start from the second word.
i Like feeding Cats
3. Substitute numbers for similar looking letters ( i = 1, o = 0, e = 3 )
Make your own rules here, for example, I will substitute only ever second occurrence, thus
i L1ke f3eding Cats
4. Substitute less used characters for similar looking characters ( s = $, a = @, etc)
i L1ke f3eding C@t$
5. Remove all spaces:
iL1kef3edingC@t$
6. If you can, add a random non-regular character to the start or end:
#iL1kef3edingC@t$
Now you have a strong password !
