You really seem to know this stuff, so I'm curios what you think of my "technique". Truly random passwords/phrases are really hard for me to remember, while substitution rules are easy for me.

So I assigned certain characters substitutions, where the substitutions can be numbers, letters, special characters or any combination of the three. P, for example, could be !o?, c could be 26 and u could be y, so Pikachu would be !o?ika26hy.

The substitutions make sense for me, for one reason or another, but should appear random for people who are not me, or at least not common enough to be in the libraries of password-cracking software. Plus, even short phrases can become up to three times as long, depending on the original letters and punctuation involved. Using my actual system, Pikachu would be 13 characters long.

Well, the best answer is a password safe. But if you're subbing out characters using a truely unique system that's not been documented anywhere else, it's probably good enough. (Assuming you don't reuse passwords via a very weak system.)

nyart wondering if you recommend any password safe in particular?
