If you like the idea of using strong passwords that are hard as nails to crack, but fall apart trying to remember numbers and symbols – like me – here are some tips that could save you your next identity theft.
This method works by creating meanings for symbols:
! excitement, strong emotion
@ the letter A, the word “at”
# number, pound, tic-tac-toe
$ money, value, the letter S
% a part of something
^ raised eyebrow, upside down V
& the word “and”, this and that, twins
( the letter c, the moon
) the moon; anything lunar; crazy
* sunny, bright, starry
+ adding one thing to another
= balance, equanimity, this equals that
this is greater than that, this is older than that
? unknown, variable, questionable
~ water, wind
Then you incorporate these into your password something like this:
1. Your oldest child’s initials are MWP
2. Your next oldest child’s initials are SEP
3. They were born in 1981 and 1983, respectivelyPotential password: Mwp81>83Sep
Interesting idea. Have your own?
