To remember your password, I would advice following trick: Take a Music
Text you know by heart and extract the first letters like follows:
Freude! Freude!
Freude, schöner Götterfunken,
Tochter aus Elysium,
Wir betreten feuertrunken,
Himmlische, dein Heiligthum!
F!F!F,sG,TaE,Wbf,H,dH!
But there are numbers missing. So I would add for example the creation
date of Beethoven's last symphony 1824:
F!F!F,sG,TaE,Wbf,H,dH!_1824
And a last advice: you have to put down your passwords in a encrypted
file (PGP), but you have to look into it, only in a case of urgency. You
have to use your passwords often by heart.
Sorry for this off-topic mail.
