    How to create a fairly secure password

    1. Take a phrase or lyrics, or something which you're going to remember. For instance;

    Huff raid, molotov everything, totse for life

    2. Now, take the first letter from each word, so you have something like this....

    Hrmetfl

    3. Next, I'll change some of the letters to numbers and symbols, and capitalize some of them...

    hRm£t$l

    4. And finally, add some characters to the start and finish...

    !@~hRm£t$l!@~

    And there you have it, a fairly secure password!

    The reason the algorithm is a good idea is because you can make a really secure first part and memorize it so you basically have 1 password, but you add shit to the end. So you could pick whatever you want, then always add bank#, twitter#, fb# or whatever. Makes remembering shit easier and you can have a dif password for everything.

    It's easy bro. All you gotta do is remember the phrase, and remember the algorithm. After a week or so, muscle memory kicks in :D

    Everyday another chapter is written with passionate lyrics
    Another character witness is tragically missing
    Another young kid's landed in prison
    We all slip through the cracks and abandon the system

    = ACWPLACWTMAKLPSTCAS
    = 4CWPL4CWTM4KLPSTC4S

    pretty secure?
