Passwords are very important because they help control the virtual access to your system. It is important to use good passwords. It is equally important to not use the same password for everything.
An easy way to use mutilple passwords and remember them easily is to develop a scheme for creating passwords.
For example you choose the following as a root passowrd for your scheme
Pas007Wrd
You can create multiple easy to remember passwords by inserting the first and last character of the service into the root password.
for example the ebay password would be
Pas007eYWrd
Notice the scheme here is to insert two characters into position 7 & 8 of the root password. Also the second inserted character is uppercase.
Therefore, the password for Amazon.com would be
Pas007aNWrd
Using the a and the N for the word amazon.
