This is still too messy.

An easy thing is to pick a date or word and then use a pattern.

For example, pick a date… May 12, 1987 (19870512)
Now a pattern: Hit keys below (8 becomes 8i, 1 becomes 1q), do it twice, and hold shift key one of those times.

The password “May 12, 1987 becomes:
1q9o8i7u0p5t1q2w!Q(O*I&U)P%T!Q@W

Easy to remember, easy to type in, impossible to guess.

Another pattern could be to type every key above.
g becomes gt5
e becomes e3

Do this twice and hold the shift key the second time.

The word fish becomes the password

Actually, fedmich, in a corporate environment where you are not allowed to even write down your passwords, let alone store them accessible via a button, or even install any non-approved software, yet must still change your password on a regular basis… yes, this does come in handy.

Interesting but maybe not too useful.

but seriously, just use KeepPass and keep on generating passwords, its much easier that way

Wow, I’m not sure about usefulness, but the passwords generated are sure interesting phrases!

Maybe I’ll have to try generating if I ever have writer’s block…
