Tips for creating an easily-remembered password

1. Use letter replacement to add in symbols and/or numbers that look similar to a certain letter. For example:
   • a = @ or 4
   • s = $ or 5
   • e = 3
   • i or l = 1 (one)
   • t = 7
   • o = 0
     
     
2. Many instant messaging screen names fit the password requirements. While it's probably not a good idea to just use your screen name verbatim, it may give you an idea of where to start.
   • Example: my screen name, MispaintedMoose (don't laugh) could become Mispainted47moose
     
     
3. Take a short phrase and replace characters where necessary. For example:
   • "I like rice" becomes iLikeR1ce
   • "21 Choices" becomes 21Choices
   • "Catch 22" becomes catch-22
     
     
4. Take the first letter of each word in a sentence and then do some letter substitution. For example:
   • "My very big dog smells like dill pickels." becomes Mvbd$ldp
   • "I am taking an underwater basket weaving class." becomes I@t4ubwc
     
     
5. Other brainstorming examples: (don't actually use these)
