# Think of a sentence that you will remember ## Example: “My son Aiden is three years old.”  # Turn your sentence into a password. ## Use the first letter of each word of your memorable sentence to create a string, in this case: “msaityo”.  # Add complexity to your password or pass phrase. ## Mix uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers. Introduce intentional misspellings. ## For example, in the sentence above, you might substitute the number 3 for the word “three”, so a password might be “MsAi3yo”.  # Substitute some special characters ##Use symbols that look like letters, combine words, or replace letters with numbers to make the password complex. ##Using these strategies, you might end up with the password “M$8ni3y0.”  
# Test your new password with the Password Strength Checker
## The Password Strength Checker evaluates your password’s strength as you type.  
# Keep your password a secret
## Treat your passwords with as much care as the information that they protect.
