Many site designers think that forcing you to use uppercase, lower case, numbers and symbols makes a good password. All that does is makes a password you can’t remember. It doesn’t matter what is in a password; length is the key. The longer the better – mine are usually over 15 characters in length and I have one that is 23 characters long. They are impossible to guess, easy to remember, but difficult to type.
There are also password managers that can remember your passwords for you. LastPass is one such program.
Don’t think password. Think pass phrase.
