We struggle to remember random characters. This is made worse if you have to change passwords regularly as some IT managers insist. A pass word (as in an actual word) is easy to remember but easier to crack with a dictionary attack. Three word pass phrases can be structured to meet all password rules and are the best of both worlds. I recommend animal colour clothing as an easy way to visualise a passphrase. Red lion shoes. Add punctuation and a number and you’ll suit the strongest rules but still be able to remember it.

3-Red-Lion-Shoes

Poor lion has lost one of his red shoes….easy image to recall
