Fun password trick:

Pick an adjective, a color, an animal, and a cuss word.

Now pick 2 numbers and a special character, or 2 special characters and a number.

Separate your 4 words with your other 3 items and, boom! 12+ character password that you already remember.

Bonus points: lose the numbers and characters and you have a hilarious insult.

    It's a nice idea, but random passwords are quite a bit safer than any manually created password. We use password generators for that. Some of them also support passwords that can be pronounced. In some way, anyway, because the "words" make no sense.

    Though, i'm still waiting for someone who would accept a passphrase.
