Huge passwords?

I see everyone giving advice on getting random passwords with 20+ characters but what good is it if you can't remember it? It just means you'd have to document it somewhere. Wouldn't that defeat the purpose?

i read a guide thats its good to just write a password with random stuff and replace a single character with a number that your remember

eg. M0nit0rSpeakerChairM0useAndAFatBluntLighterBl0wtorchUSBHub

I've been using the same password for everything since 1998

Personally, I write them down on a notepad that I keep in a nice little locked drawer in my desk. In a world dominated by the Internet and technology, taking a step back can give you an advantage.

After a while, some of them end up becoming memorized just out of repetition

Use 'lastpass' - pretty safe option. And 'generate secure password' option is awesome

Just memorize it

use diceware (search it) to generate passwords. use keepass2 to manage them.

The same way you remember a phone number. Just keep repeating it till its second nature. That's how I remember mine is random letters and caps and symbols such as ",%,@. Example : 9ajwo6xC%%€€ doesn't need to be 20 letters it just needs to be hard.

Also try and figure a way to remember it so 9 because your daughter is 9, A is because your dogs name is Ale, J because your name is James. Then the rest becomes reason.

Use a long phrase then change some applicable characters to numbers. I.e. "E" become "3", "o" turns into "0" but only do it to a few. My password is easy to remember but according to that site that tells you how strong it is, would take like a hundred and twenty million years to brute force crack
