Sure, you can use your favorite sports player in a password (like many people choose to do). Varying the characters in a way such as this password has done makes it almost impossible to guess, but slightly easier to remember.
Many people choose to use acronyms for passwords. In this case, the acronym stands for I love my wife and contains a date that could be an anniversary, or any other significant date that is easy to remember. However, instead of simply creating the password with the acronym and date, make it harder to crack by inserting special characters such as a / and a ,.
Favorite phrases or sayings make for great passwords, if done correctly. Instead of making your password ?letsplaytwo?, you can try a variation of the characters that still retains the meaning and appearance of the original phrase. It is about being easy to remember, but not easy to guess.
Avoiding Complacency Periodical Changes It is a great idea to change your passwords every few months. Some may be reluctant to do so, as passwords are hard enough to remember without changing. But, varying your password even slightly is enough. For example, instead of using an exclamation point (!) at the end of your password, change it to a dollar sign ($). Such small changes are usually easy to remember. If you are having a hard time remembering your password, it is ok to write them down in a safe place, without labeling them as 'passwords'.
