Re: Passwords

The best suggestion I've seen for creating a password is to use the first letters of the words of a line or a couplet from one of your favorite poems or songs, making one or two of them upper case or easily-remembered numbers and tossing in a character as needed. For example, if I take:

That could produce the password:

ott2tsfwmT&riiad

I've used this method, and the resulting password is both easy to remember and a bear to type--and, I bet, to crack. (Of course, if everyone around you knows that your favorite song is "Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, I'm gonna eat some worms," then it might not be as effective.)
