sometimes websites require long passwords to sign into your account to access the website.
when I enter some of mine, it doesn't work the first time because I didn't enter it slowly.
it is a task of skill and accuracy.

I use my browser to save most of my passwords so I don't have to remember them or worry about entering it.

I use affirmations for passwords so they're easier to remember and get repeated when I log in.  I have the computer remember those that I'm comfortable with.  I also keep record of them, off the computer.

A local morning program has a local computer expert on once a week who gives great advice.  He was just on today telling us to use at least eight digits in our passwords, use both upper and lower case and add a symbol to the end.

I also read a tip online that recommended using a statement with both upper and lower case letters, numbers and all the appropriate punctuation.  Then use only the first letter of each word keeping the case and punctuation in tact.  Something like:

My name is Susan, I live at 123 Main Street.  To get the password MniS,Ila123MS.

I use a password manager Lastpass... A well known password manager who stores and automatically apply ur username and password in the login screen... The only thing bad about it, is tht if it gets hacked or if someone has ur master password... ur pretty much screwed

I have a mind trick for creating passwords and try to use a different password at every site I belong too.
