The best password ever!

"How to Create Good Passwords" articles abound, but I believe strongly in the method detailed below.  Once your base password is created, it is easy to make a unique password for each of your online accounts.

1) Think of an easy phrase to remember - e.g., my car is fast and sleek

2)  Remove the spaces in the phrase:  mycarisfastandsleek

3) Capitalize the first letter of the second word:  myCarisfastandsleek

4) Replace  the letter "a" (all or some) with the @ symbol:  myC@risf@st@ndsleek

5) Replace the letter "s" with the $ symbol:  myC@ri$f@$t@nd$leek

6) Use that password as your base and then add on the first three letters of the website or account to make each password unique.  For example, if I was using the above password for Facebook, it would look like this:  myc@ri$f@$t@nd$leekfac and for Gmail it would look like this: myC@ri$f@$t@nd$leekgma

At first, you may be slow entering all of the characters, but with practice, it should become automatic and much easier.

Happy New Year!  May 2020 be your most safe, secure online year ever!!  :-)
