I pick a word that has power for me, then use a simple substitution cipher - 1 for I, 3 for E, 4 for A, 7 for T, 0 for O. I sprinkle these substitutions throughout the word, add some capitalizations, then add symbols to start and finish of the pwd. For example, I could say password as a password, but change it to P4ssW0rd07! I'll need to type it out a few times before it really sinks in, but once it's there, it's great! Since it's a word that has meaning for me, that is easy to remember I just have to spend some time remembering the substitutions.

Here it is translated into a password: tw$brLLg&$1th3. I didn't finish the sentence, as you can see, and misspelled some words. See if you can figure this one out: o$hnS@0^a$33t (Ocean sat on a seat).

I find it a lot easier to remember, and the password is pretty strong if I throw in some number with the # symbol. For instance, if your birthday is on the 18th of some month, you can use the Happy Birthday song HbtyhbtY#18 Sang I use the first letter of a each word in a favourite song or phrase to create my passwords.
