You can use dictionary words, but *scrambling* their letters, as a way to make things quite easily memorable. e.g. Use the words "a", "good" & "friend" by interspersing the letters f r i e n d + a + d o o g (reversed, "good", this time) = fardioeongd Just be sure to *really* scramble the letters. There's all sorts of tricks for memorising passwords, that's just one of them. -- (Currently running FC4, in case that's important to the thread) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
