How to create a strong password?

As I already said, there can be numerous algorithms to create a strong password. This article will describe just one such algorithm. Please make sure you do not use exactly the same algorithm to create your passwords. Instead, you may want to use this idea to develop your own secret algorithm.

Step 1:

Take a single digit from 0 to 9.

I would take the digit ‘1’ in this example.

Step 2:

Spell the digit in English.

O – N – E

Step 3:

Replace O with 0 (zero).
Replace N with 9.
Replace E with 3.

You may want to use your own algorithm to replace letters with digits.

Step 4:

Till now, we have got ‘0 9 3 ‘

Again, spell the digits in English.

ZERO – NINE – THREE

Step 5:

Again,
Replace N with 9.
E with 3.
O with 0 (zero).
I with 1.
H with 8.

So, it becomes:

Please note that I have kept Z (of Zero) and T (of Three) in capital letters.

Step 6:

We are yet to apply Rule# 1 of the rules mentioned above.

So, we need to add some special characters in the final password.

Replace the first character in the password (or any character you choose) with a special character.

Again, you may use your own algorithm to map special characters to letters or numbers. In this example, Z (the first letter in the last row of the keyboard) can be replaced by !.

Step 7:

Now, the password has become :
!3r09193T8r33
