I think I like Schneier's scheme: So if you want your password to be hard to guess, you should choose something that this process will miss. My advice is to take a sentence and turn it into a password. Something like "This little piggy went to market" might become "tlpWENT2m". That nine-character password won't be in anyone's dictionary. Of course, don't use this one, because I've written about it. Choose your own sentence -- something personal. https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2014/03/choosing_secure_1.html This scheme generates long hard passwords that are fairly easy to remember. And if I had read this article first I never would have asked my original question. Thanks to all who contributed, but I think we can kill this thread now.
