I find that using the first letter from each word in a sentance or
phrase (including a mix of capitalization and punctuation) makes for
easy to remember, almost impossible to guess passowrds. Obviously,
don't pick well known phrases: "Tb,ontb;", is certianly a bad choice.)
Use them as timely mantras, and change them when they get out of date.
