Some of the strongest and easy to remember passwords are just a few words strung together with a few numbers.

For example: Simpsons7-Purple4-Monkey1-Dishwasher8

Just remember "Simpsons Purple Monkey Dishwasher" and "7418". You're probably never going to forget that and I just tossed it into a password strength tester and it said it would take about 46 billion years to randomly guess it.

Anything else and I can't remember so I'm using this.

I'm told it's very secure so I must be very secure. Right? Right?

Now remember these types of passwords, all different for different services. It's not a realistic expectation. Password managers are a must nowadays if you want to protect your accounts. But these types of passwords are also easier to type out.

I'll never understand why spaces are commonly not allowed in passwords.
