This is probably the most common method of password hacking.

Rather than write it down or save it using a password saving program, use something you will remember.

I recommend 8 minimum to 20 Charaters maximum

Use common sayings like your pets name(s) Mixed with numbers such as your phone number area code or prefix, zip code, member number, and-or underscore and dashes, the key is to break up common words with other information, this nearly eliminates the possibility that someone could guess you password even by brute force attack, or that you forget it

Such as:

gamma740_open385
Get546Window459Text-A
lima098-_zebra06you
Flush89Instruction78_Cache
spot-8_wilbur

There are endless possibilities, the key is to structure your password so its easy to remember.
