Synopsis: Use a sequence of regular words to form a larger password.
A common automated attack is to try every word in the dictionary. This takes about as long as trying every sequence of two characters.
Therefore, choose a password made of several words.
A password made of three words is about a good as one made of six letters, as long as it isn't a familiar phrase that shows up in some phrase book. For using words that don't go together, but are still easy to remember for you, use PrivateWordAssociation.
