Change your passwords to "passphrases" to ensure that you remember them.

Great tip!!!
My husband's passwords are so crazy I'll never be able to get into his computer when he dies. And he changes them constantly!!
Can you even do that on most websites, though? Don't they normally restrict you to like 8-12 characters or something? This is pretty genius if it works! :o)

great tip i never would have thought of that
