We have all been there, you go to a website and they ask for a password but its got to be secure and over 8 characters and must have symbols and numbers. What to put in so you can remember it? Well here is a simple way to make secure passwords that you can remember.
First off do not choose a word to start with that is associated with you such as your partners name, childrens names, parents names, pets names etc. Choose a word that has no association to you whatsoever such as the word seasidefisherman if you lived in a landlocked country and days away from the sea or skiingresortholiday if you lived in the desert, you get the idea.
Once you have your word you need to turn it into a secure password, so i will choose the word peanutheadfeet. Now dont copy this as its being used on this site and everyone else can see it too this is just to show you how to convert the words into secure passwords.
Ok so peanutheadfeet. Lets start by substituting some of the letters for numbers that look kind of like the letters such as the number 3 for the letter E and the number 4 for the letter A etc.
So peanutheadfeet then becomes p34nu7h34df337 which already is quite a mix of numbers and letters but lets go further and use some symbols to make it more secure and make it P34/\/u71-134dF337 so it is now a much more secure password using upper and lower case letters and numbers and symbols but lets go one further and make it even more secure. 733Fd431-1u/\/43P which is the previous one just backwards, now that is a pretty secure password and would not be guessable by a casual cracker who was trying to get into your account. You can be as creative as you like with making secure passwords especially when it comes to financial sites or important sites like your social media.
I hope this helps you to create a good secure password and an easy way to remember them too.
