===Step 6: How to create and remember strong passwords===
Mnemonics can help you create and remember a strong password. Since it is easier for us to remember a phrase rather than a random combination of letters and number – you could create your password from a sentence or even a paragraph. Let's take the following as an example:
Will you still need me, will you still feed me when I am 64?
Now, lets take the first letter of every word. We get Wysnm,wysfmwIa64?
Alternatively, lets take the last letter. We get lulde,luldenIm64?
Both of these passwords are long and complex enough to keep the computer busy for thousands of years. Now the trick is not to remember the password itself, but to keep the sentence in mind as well as your rule for withdrawing the password from this sentence. From now on, picture the sentence in your mind and extract your password from it.

===Step 7: Using software for password creation and storage===
As an alternative, you can generate random, complex passwords for all of your accounts in a portable, encrypted ''secure password database'', such as '''KeePass'''. Whenever you need to enter a password for a specific account, you can look it up in '''KeePass'''. Using the copy/paste functions you can withdraw the passwords from the program to the screen where it is required.
The '''KeePass''' program stores all of your passwords in a secure database, protected by a master password (this one you have to remember!). You can store hundreds of different passwords and relevant notes in the program, without having to remember them.
