Phrases: <\/b>Rather than trying to attempt to remember a long string of numbers and words, turn your passwords into memorable phrases. Incorporating capitalization and punctuation can make them even more secure.

Personalization:<\/b> Another great way to remember passwords is to make them personal and unique. All you need to do is make changes to a phrase or word related to yourself, such as an address, nickname, or relative\u2019s name. For example, if your address is 123 Main Street, you could make it into 123M@inStreet or 123@inStree7.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Softening up your passwords with recognition can make them easier to remember as they\u2019re related to your lifestyle.<\/li>\n<li>They\u2019re also more secure than plain old words as they\u2019re a much more rare combination.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"qa\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_A\"><\/span>Q&amp;A<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Q: What is a clever password?<br \/>\nA: A Clever password is a unique and strong password that is hard to guess, and that you should use to protect your personal information online.
