Before discussing password tips, I'd like to give a wholehearted recommendation to Future Learn.
They provide a wide range of well presented short courses from recognised universities. Have a look and I'm sure you'll find something of interest.
This is a link to the Future Learn blog post about creating memorable but difficult to crack passwords bit.ly/2d2t0pn. They also have a course covering several key aspects of security
Part of their advice is to use a sentence to help you remember a password.
For example: 'good advice - worth noting' might become the password goad-wono.
An early form of encryption, used by spies and agents all over the world, was to use a book or poem. Numbers would refer to the page, line and number of words into the line. So for example using the book Under a Blood Red Sky by Kate Furnival the code 25992 would be the word 'sometimes'. The only way you could break this code is if you knew and had a copy of the book.
You can simplify and use this encryption code to help remember passwords.
So from the same book, Thenightmareclose would be encoded as 11 41 71
