I am not questioning his use of his/her use of English and I recognize passwort as being
the Germanic form of password.
One can not tell a person how to "get" a password and "remeber" it.
One must learn for themselves how to create one and perform cognizant assocaition for its
rememberance.
I deal with many users and daily deal with them fogetting passwords. They have to deal
with a minimum of 10 to 14 characters that must have a mix of a minimum of; 2 x upper
case, 2 x lower case, 2 x numbers and 2 x special characters. I had one this past week
that got a new smart card. She logged into a partucular PKI web site to change her
password. Even though she is DISALLOWED from writing it down, she did. The site create
what is called a Single Sign On (SSO) for other web sites. The next day a program
dependent upon her SSO account failed. I tried to help her and the authentication kept
failing. She was so ascertive that is was the correct password and she said "I wrote it
down, it is correct". I knew otherwise. We webt back to that min web site for SSO/PKI
setup and sure enough it wouldn't authenticate on her password either. Again she had to
logon with her smart card and change her password. This time the SSO dependent program
was able to authenticate using this new password. This was a case of someone who was
semi-formally TRAINED and TAUGHT how to create and use passwords and she failed miserably.
People think that if they change a password that the must come up with a password of all
new characters. Not true. What they must do is come up with a base password and an
algorithm for it modification. Thus one will know what there present password is and what
the next apssword will be when they are required to change it.
Passwords are always personal.
All you can do is give a guideline for its creation. That would mean a complex mix of
characters using a minimum of 8 characters and never using dictionary words or names in
the password. However in this case all we got from the OP was "remember to the web".
That means nothing. Different web sites have different password rquirements. Some may
require a pin which is only numbers. Others may require a minimum set of characters and
tell you what characters can NOT be used. They may even tell you that certain characters
may not be used as the first character of the password or you can't use two of the same
charcters together like; $$
The problem here is the OP was posing a question that was so malformed and lacking of
information that it was meaningless.
