Master passwords

-

>>> The one password you have to remember going forward is your master password. The longer this is, the better it will be at resisting attempts to break it, but how do you square the circle of making it memorable, but not easily guessable? The solution is to use a four–word passphrase comprising four random (but memorable) words separated with a special character such as – or _. Use a website like useapassph­rase.com to generate one, and consider adding another layer by adding a number before each word.
