We've been trained on how to create passwords that are hard to remember, but surprisingly easy for hackers to hack. Ironically, it's the security systems who've created this blight on password strength. Sit back, relax, then briefly panic as you worry your passwords may not be as secure as you thought. Then breath a sigh of relief as there's simple way to make a password that's easy to remember and very secure. Hopefully after that, you will never forget a password again.
