One of the issues with creating strong passwords is that they are very difficult to remember. One solution is to use a master password, while the other is presented by F-Secure:
- Create part of a password that you would remember, like a “pin” that all your passwords share. Do not write this down
- Create another part of your password based on random numbers and letters based on the website
- Write down the letter / number sequence but not the pin
Based on this method, which is much easier to understand in their step-by-step example, you can combine the pin with the written-down prompts to create unique and difficult-to-hack passwords.
Another option for choosing strong passwords was presented in this post.
