Fun password trick:

Pick an adjective, a color, an animal, and a cuss word.

Now pick 2 numbers and a special character, or 2 special characters and a number.

Separate your 4 words with your other 3 items and, boom! 12+ character password that you already remember.

Bonus points: lose the numbers and characters and you have a hilarious insult.

    I make up a sentence and then I write it out. Why limit yourself to 12 characters?

    Like the actual phrase

    Why limit yourself to 12 characters?

    is a very strong password, easy to remember, fast to type and has the added benefit of not containing any adjectives.

    Length and complexity are the two most valuable things in a password.

    "ThisIsMySuperCoolPasswordNoOneWillEverGuess#2!0" is an insanely good password. "G<7p8*a94;B" is pretty good too but howtf are you gonna type that every time
