I read the replies and got some ideas. I don't have any favorite songs or sayings so that wouldn't work with me. I'm weird, as some know but might not say it. ROFL I did come up with some things tho based on replies. I then googled for some password checker sites, found three or so, and checked to see what they think about my password. Here is some results: It would take a computer about 34 thousand years to crack your password Medium size botnet About 143 billion years or Standard Desktop PC About 143 quadrillion years Time to crack your password: 17 centuries or Review: Fantastic, using that password makes you as secure as Fort Knox. I'm not sure if one can convert that to NSA time or not. o_O The password contains upper/lower case letters, couple symbols from up top of the number keys and several numbers. None of which anyone would be able to guess in any way. They have nothing to do with that list of things not to use, birthdays etc. If a person was trying to just guess it, even a best friend who knows me extremely well, they would not be able to guess it much less the order of it. The only bad thing, it isn't to easy to type. Of course, a really good password usually isn't so . . . I'm going to practice typing that thing in a bit to see if I get the hang of it. Maybe it will grow on me or I can come up with a change that makes it easier to type. Thanks to all for the suggestions. It did help. Some were sort of funny but they would make a good password easy to remember. Dale :-) :-)
