> Step 2: Turn your phrase into an acronym. Be sure to use some numbers and symbols and capital letters, too Adding symbols to passwords is a huge inconvenience. Why? Because some of the sites that I use fairly regularly don't allow the characters. I end up having a first-class password and a second-class password for websites that are overly draconian. The last time I used Digg (2 years ago or so) it had this restriction, and that's the only site I feel comfortable about sharing ;). Some well-known companies who should know better have the same restriction. It doesn't seem awful on the surface, but I also switch my password semi-regularly. If I go back to a website 2 years later, I not only have to guess all of my primary passwords, but I have to guess my secondary passwords as well in hopes that it was one of the ones with a bad password restriction.
