Usernames and passwords

How can I remember my password but keep it secure ?

The easiest method to remember a password and keep it secure is to pick a sentence that reminds you of the password. For example:

Hope my car gets through 2 semesters! (Hmcgt2s!)
What time is Class in room 9? (WtiCir9?)
I hope i remember my deakin password! (Ihirmdp!)
i like my lucky Number #86 (ilmlN#86)
