Simple steps to strong passwords

Nothing digital is 100% secure.
Your digital security is only as good as the ability of the person trying to hack you.

So the question is this: how do you create the strongest password possible?

Follow these simple steps to creating a strong password:

1. Take a line in one of your favorite songs for example "old pirates yes they rob I sold I to the merchant ships" and use the first letter in each word in that line.  In my example that gives me OPYTRISITTMS
2. Substitute numbers for letters where possible, therefore  OPYTRISITTMS = 0PYTR151TTMS
3. You can also use symbols 0PYTR151TTM$
4. and you're done

Remember:

1. Never write down your password
2. DO NOT use the same password for all your accounts
3. Change your password at least once every 3 months
4. Use a mixture of letters, numbers and punctuations in your password
5. Do not use the names of persons or things close to you or information that is well known by others
6. Let the hints be hints and nothing more

Most importantly: A good password should be easy for you to remember but very difficult for others to guess.

UPDATE: DO NOT use naturally occurring keyboard sequences (such as “qwerty” or "asdfgh" for example)
