I believe you have not one web site you have log into. Many of them requires a password for detailed usage of it. It also has to be noted, those web pages that are serious about their security even set few rules for creating a password. I am sure that you've noticed that few of them may ask you that your password would be at least eight characters, or must contain non-alpha-numeric characters, or must use at least one uppercase letter and etc.
The problem is with those many accounts you've created on Internet that you may not be able to remember a unique password for each of them. It is not reccomended to use the same password for them all.
There is a simple way to create a great password, but you have to remember four step rule. It's like some kind of formula, not difficult to remember. Here it is:
1. Capitalize the fourth character.
2. Move the second last character to the front.
3. Add a chosen number after the second character.
4. Add a chosen non-alphanumeric character to the end.
There is other sugestion for your unique password. You can create your own passphrase and use the first letter of each word and apply your four step rule.
