The best thing to do, would be for you to read about it in the above thread under the subtitle Generating passwords manually:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Stron ... ling%20APG
A tentative synthesis is:
. generate a general password with a simple sentence that you write without spaces: she is so pretty becomes sheissopretty
. replace some letters with numbers, capital letters or symbols: sh3!sS0pr3tty
. use prefixes or suffixes for your different accounts: bank (b4Nk), chrome (chr0M3)
. put the prefix together with the general password with the use of a specific caracter: b4Nk$sh3!sS0pr3tty and chr0M3$sh3!sS0pr3tty, respectively
. as the author writes:
... keep your passwords written somewhere private. It can take weeks or months to remember a strong password...
Personnally, I do not know how many characters are needed for a strong password. The author says that you need at least 15 characters.
This seems quite a job!
I wonder how many of us has this as a custom practice. I imagine that it depends on what you want to protect.
