How to create unforgettable & un-crackable passwords?

Answer 1

Don't make it an actual word, and make sure to throw in a few numbers, just to be safe.

Answer 2

Hey!

A good password should be long, include punctuation marks, change every now and then, but also be easy to remember. You might choose your birthday, middle name (you think no one knows it), pet’s name (which no one should know) - but all of these aren't safe.

Remember this when you chose your password: Every word in an English language dictionary can be tried in minutes. Attack dictionaries also include names, common misspellings, words with numbers, and other commonly used passwords. Using a dictionary word for a password is like using a locker number for a combination. A combination lock with a two number combination wouldn't protect very well. Similarly, anything less than an eight character password is like having a such a combination. It simply won't hold up for long.

A combination lock with only ten numbers on the dial isn't as effective as one with fifty. Using just lower case letters is like limiting a combination lock to ten numbers. On systems that support them, passwords should contain at least one of each of the following characters:

* Uppercase letters (A - Z)
* Lowercase letters (a - z)
* Numbers (0 - 9)
* Punctuation marks ( !@#$%^&*()_+=- etc)

How, you may ask, am I ever going to remember such a complicated password? Well, it's easy! Some of the best passwords are acronyms that are special to you. As an example to help you get the idea:

* You have a dog called Roger and he's 7 years old.
* So the phrase: My dog Roger is 3+7 years old!
* Which becomes: MdRi3+7yo!
* Your password could be MdRi3+7yo!

It's also a good idea to change your password at least every month, so that even if it is discovered, permanent access to the system/data would not be gained.

Cheers!

Answer 3

The experts usually say a password should be at least 8 characters long and contain a combination of upper case and lower case letters as well as numbers. They also say that with enough time ANY password can be cracked.

So let's say you like to play tennis. Maybe you want your password to be "tennisperson" You might create the password as: T3nN1s5peRS0n with a deliberate misspelling (2 esses in tennis).

First letter upper case, backwards E (the # 3), second S the # 5, last letter O as the number zero (0). This makes it more difficult for someone to figure out the password but you'll remember it.

Answer 4

What one person creates, another can solve so I think you may be expecting too much from your security.

Locks, be they on doors or passwords, are there to keep honest people honest. You can make it "difficult" to access private areas but if your data is attractive enough to a determined thief it will eventually be hacked.

Now, it's up to you to create long, complex passwords that include as many variables as you can remember. The unforgettable part comes from you.

I've known people who used:

Latin names of common plants for their passwords (they were botanists).
serial numbers of vehicles (wish I had that kind of memory!)
song lyrics
dates in personal history (one guy used the date of his first sexual encounter and the girl's name)

Good Luck

Answer 5

Uncrackable passwords do not exist. Yes, it may take a full year for a software to crack your password, but it will do it.

Complicating the thing for a password cracker is to put more than letters and numbers ("!", "#", "%", etc.), but it will just complicate the task, not make it impossible.
