Better yet, nowadays a lot of services will allow you to insert symbols into your
password now too.
(The Following Is Just An Example)
This means that you can turn a password like "fastcar" into "!(faSt22CAR)!" and it
will work flawlessly. Yes, that's an annoying password to type in, and maybe
even to remember. But think of how much effort it may take to crack a password
like that.
As it is, that kind of methodology could be enough to secure your password, BUT
if you want to really step it up a notch and keep things essentially UNCRACKABLE
- then you want to generate a completely random password.
If you want to go the old fashion way, you can just come up with something
random such as the following examples:
1. 84q7d*2e55YD
2. 709i!F7B7D2D
3. vb91Xd6*7R64
Those are really complex and may be difficult to remember. But just keep in
mind this is your security you're talking about and that goes a long way.
You don't have to go that complex either. A few capital and lower case letters, a
few numbers, and a symbol or two. That's all it takes to make it secure.
