Generating a password (or, actually, anything in general that involved some imagination and abstract creation) was the bane of my existence.
So when I managed to find an ingenious password that was both easy to remember and not obvious without the right hint, I was thrilled. I used it for 10 years straight.
Fortunately, the internet then was not the dangerous place it is now so you could safely reuse passwords everywhere.
Then I discovered password managers and they changed my life. There's only one password I need to remember now.
But what if you forget the password to your passwords?
The trick is using something you can easily remember but also not obvious. For example: take your favorite book, pick the first sentence of the first chapter and change vowels with numbers. There, super easy to remember password, but almost impossible to guess.
Instead, you can use anything: the second sentence of the book, the name of your favourite song (or songs if the song is just one word), the lyrics of that song...
Just something that is easily accessible in case you forget but nobody could ever guess
This and similar advice always reminds me of - IIRC - one of the Halo novels, which briefly featured a character logging in to read his corporate email. To do so he had to enter his password,
ThereOnceWasAGirl; but he, the fool, accidentally enteredThereOncewasAGirl.If it wasn't Halo, it was a similar type of story and this seemed an odd detail to include.
