Over the years you will have been using a password, typically a
single dictionary word with one or more numbers or punctuation
characters incorporated.
Words, however, are not all you have. Instead, consider phrases and
short sentences, song titles and lyrics, favourite quotes or even
something a child might have said to you. Once you’ve done this, take
the first letter (or pair of letters in some cases) from each word in
the passphrase and add in numbers where relevant to create your
passphrase. This is passwords evolved.
Better still, using this tactic to create your passwords means an end
to writing them down – which is a terrible habit to get into.
We’ve given a great deal of advice on the creation of passwords and passphrases over the years. Ryan’s look at creating secure and memorable passphrases is a great place to look into this topic in further detail.
