Secure password

A secure password is a strong password. How to create it?

  1. 1

    Choose a sentence that is easy to remember,

    e.g. She really likes red fried tomatoes. It will be the basis for building a strong password.

  2. 2

    Create a new,

    meaningless word from the first two letters of each word in the sentence above: shrelirefrto.

  3. 3

    Increase the password strength by adding uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers,

    e.g. sHRelirefrT0.

  4. 4

    Replace some letters and numbers with special characters,

    e.g. $HRelirefrT0
