This document provides tips for creating strong and memorable passwords by incorporating capital letters, numbers, and symbols into common words; combining unrelated words; taking the first letter of phrases; or using movie quotes as passwords and clues. Strong passwords should be original, creative, and avoid common words.

words:

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…
“‘Frankly, my
dear, I don’t
give a damn.”
