It's easier for me to memorize patterns and pictures. For passwords that I want to be highly secure and memorized, I use a pattern on the keyboard. I don't even know what the password is because it's gobbledygook, but I know the pattern/drawing in my head. The password can be quite long and is not written down anywhere. I do write down something that can make me, and only me, recall the pattern that is meaningful only to me.

So, even if a thief hacks my password vault, he is still out of luck. A brute force attack is the only crime that will work. The only downside to this approach is that I must have a full QWERTY keyboard to input the password.

Notebook, my friend. Notebook.

Yeah, yeah, don't write down your passwords. What are the chances that the guy hacking all the world's servers just happens to be burgle your house?


Good old pen and paper!
