Insert CAPS, numb3r5 and $ymbo!$
in place of some letters in common
words:
• M!nnes0t@
• F1$h1ng
• $n0wm0bile

Or put together multiple words that
mean nothing when together:
• DonkeyTrainPDF
• WaterVampireTie
• SnowmanHawaiiElvis
Then imagine that image in your
head for your password.

6. Take quotes and use the first letter
from each word for the password…
“‘Tis but a
scratch, I’ve
had worse.”
tbasihw =
Tb@$Ihw

7. Or how about the bridgekeeper…

8. “What is the air speed velocity of an
unladen swallow?”
witasvoaus = Wita$voau$

want to write
down the
whole

give yourself a
clue about it.

scratch
