Your new password is
Coahtr.1498.$
Here is the logic behind this password:
|
We start with a phrase (book/movie title, common phrases, etc)
|
Cat on a hot tin roof |
|
Then we take a number with a memorable attribute/event:
|
1492 - Columbus sailed - well, you know the rest |
|
Now, take the first letter from each word in the phrase
|
Coahtr |
|
Count the number of letters in that phrase:
|
6 |
|
Add that number to the original number to get:
|
1498 |
| Finally, choose an extra random character: |
$ |
|
And combine the three pieces with the period character (.) to get:
|
Coahtr.1498.$ |
|
