Question

Can you give me advice on a password which is both secret and memorable?

Answer 1

An easy thing to remember is to scramble your name.

If your name was 1234567

Your password would become 1726354 and then just add random letters or numbers to the end :) 17263541a2b

If your name is Ryan

RnyaXYZ

Or Michael would become

mliecah123

Or you could also change certain letters to numbers.

John Doe would become J0hnD03 or something similar.

Just choose something that is easy to remember but not easy for others to guess. So not, yourname or your DOB, etc.

Answer 2

Make a riddle, make a refference word to that riddle and write the riddle down.

Answer 3

something that has to do with you i would say if you want try something like a nickname and put your lastname at the end good luck

Answer 4

Best password is one which is hard for even you to remember such as a word entered in part capitals part lower case and with a number in. That is a strong password but you need to write it down somewhere safe.

Answer 5

I reccomend making it a name but with a few numbers.

Example:

broomstick - br00mst1ck?

Answer 6

Make it a word you would remember but change the spelling.

example if it was computer change it to compuuter or watever and add a number with it that means something to you like ur birthday or sumthing and if its a 2 digit number then switch the numbers around. should be easy enough to remember then, its what i do.

Answer 7

The best/easiest suggestions I've had are:

1) Quickest and easiest, think of 2 words you remember, chop each in half and stick it together, as it's not in the dictionary it's much harder to find. e.g. Guitar + Caravan = GuitCara

2) If you want to use a long password (so harder to guess through brute force) choose verses from a poem you remember at a random point.

3) If you wan't a decent, hard to guess password, I'd say use option 1) and add numbers for some letters. A decent password should use uppercase and lowercase as well as numbers (characters if you really want to go for a big password) and be at least 8/9 characters long.

Basically it's all about making an attacker have the most possibilities to have to check.

I'd suggest avoiding anything personal to you (like family names or dates of birth) as people can find those out quite often (e.g. social networking sites).

Answer 8

try date of birth, friends and family names, pet names, house number,telephone digits, combine two of them

Answer 9

i suggest put together your initial and year you born..

Eg. Name: Brad Pitt         Born:1960

So password: BP1960

Answer 10

use

asdf jkl;

its just the letters that your fingers should be on now thats not hard to remember

a s d f j k l ;

Answer 11

Your Mothers Maiden name. No one would know that except you and your immediate family and virtually impossible to guess.

That's why most secure sites ask that as it's about the most secure answer there is. You can always combine it with where you were born.

So your Mother's Maiden name plus where you were born is virtually impossible to crack.

Like for instance where I was born the County Boundaries have been changed 3 times and where I was born doesn't exist, but my Birth Certificate says different! And not a lot of people know that, less than what I can count on one finger!

Answer 12

Ur Date of Birth

like 15  june 1991

        15/06/1991

u can use it like 15061991

its memorable because it is ur birthdate and it is also Secret

No one can Hack on ur password Easyly

Answer 13

Think of a place you've been, maybe even lived and take that, so maybe "london"

Then add some numbers, maybe the beginning end of your phone number so you will be able to remember easily.

Always remember to pick something simple but secretive :)

Answer 15

Think of a time or place that means something special to only you.

Answer 16

It seems you have lost the password to your memory chum!

did you see my question "what's Deja-vu?"

Answer 17

hi



choose a place, family member or an event which you can remember... family member is easiest or maybe choose your town name...

once you have an idea change into into mixed numbers and letters for instance;

Al1s0n-alison                 or

l04d0n- london

...but bear in mind dont mix it up too much - just change one letter.

you could also try to double the letters for instance;

t1llyy- tilly

hope this helps

Answer 18

Use a foreign language.
