My password rules
Retreat "once": I do not in any way claim the title of "truth in the last resort" and I can easily pass for "KO";
The retreat is “two”: for the most part, the audience of this post is those who have recently “nailed” to the network or “have nailed” for a long time, but are not yet accustomed to protecting their information;
Retreat "three": always, moving away from the computer to the "meeting / smoke / pour tea" lochte your computer. This protection is not from "intruders" (they, if they want to remove the information), but from "fools" and "cats".
Let's start?
The password should be easily remembered by you and be difficult to read by "cats" and "fools". Consider 3 hypothetical situations:
The first and second options are transparent and can be easily spied and stored. The third is more difficult to memorize, because for third-party "cat" does not carry any semantic load.
')
What can be done to complicate the password? For example, to make a mistake in the word (1 and 2 variants): mer ph o = mer f o; fylthc j y = fylthc jj y;
We replaced [ph] with [f] and “doubled” [j]. The work of the "cat" has already become a little more complicated. But you can go further.
Now our password is written in lowercase letters, it needs to be fixed. How? You can choose a rule for yourself:
Already more difficult. In principle, this can stop. But, if you assume that you will create your own passwords for some Internet services, you can go further.
We continue to complicate the work of the "cat".
You can add a number or a punctuation mark to the password, according to the principle “the number of significant letters in the password + password pronunciation intonation”.
So you can turn:
Numbers and punctuation marks can be placed in any part of the password, the main thing is that the principle of their placement is transparent for you.
Once again I will say that the selection of the password has become quite difficult. Of course, anyone who searches will always find, but the password generator will not save from these “cats”.
And we will continue to complicate our password, leaving it transparent for us.
Replacing letters with similar ones. For example, in numbers (in my example it applies only to the first option):
So, we have already come to something. Brief conclusions:

The password should be easily remembered by you and be difficult to read by "cats" and "fools". Consider 3 hypothetical situations:
- password is a meaningful word of the English language (merpho);
- the password is a significant word of the Russian language typed in the English layout (Anderson - fylthcjy);
- the password is collected according to some principle from the letters of a phrase (tactical and technical characteristics of tactical and technical tasks, etc. - tthttzetc [collected by the first letters and randomly distorted]).
The first and second options are transparent and can be easily spied and stored. The third is more difficult to memorize, because for third-party "cat" does not carry any semantic load.

Now our password is written in lowercase letters, it needs to be fixed. How? You can choose a rule for yourself:
- all vowels are capitalized (mErfO; FylThcJJy; tthttzEtc);
- all unspoken letters are written in uppercase (MeRFo; fYLtHCjjY; TTHTTZeTC);
- all letters with a sequence number corresponding to the definition of a prime number are written in capital letters (MeRfO; FyLtHcJjy; TtHtTzEtc);
- any other option is transparent to yourself.
Already more difficult. In principle, this can stop. But, if you assume that you will create your own passwords for some Internet services, you can go further.

So you can turn:
- MeRfO => MeRfO5!
- FyLtHcJjy => 8? FyLtHcJjy
- TtHtTzEtc => TtH? TTz! Etc.
Numbers and punctuation marks can be placed in any part of the password, the main thing is that the principle of their placement is transparent for you.

And we will continue to complicate our password, leaving it transparent for us.
Replacing letters with similar ones. For example, in numbers (in my example it applies only to the first option):
- [o] is similar to [0 - zero] - change it - MeRf05!
So, we have already come to something. Brief conclusions:
- password is easily remembered;
- rules are easy to remember for its formatting;
- for its selection by a third-party "cat" will take more time than we "go to smoke."
- he who seeks will find and no passwords will protect against these seekers;
- the main purpose of this publication was to demonstrate the ability to compose complex passwords from “what is at hand”;
- I do not claim to be KO, although I may seem to them.
