If you wouldn't mind, could you please post some of your more secure (yet easy to remember) passwords?

**Obviously I dont mean any of your current ones!**

such as I once used "H2o2Go" -> Water to go

First of all, no one should share even their expired passwords.

You can come up with good password by coming up with a set of rules for passwords.

How about:
minimum 8 charecters
at least one alpha, one numeric and one special charecter.
No whole words
no using commonly available numbers - your phone extension, birthday, license plate etc - anyhting easily guessed or in your personnel file

But the best way to create a password that is both secure and easy to remember(non -easily remembered passwords end up on yellow stickies) is to fracture a phrase as you have done with H2O2Go, though its shorter than I would like.

I think the rules are a key point. Many users typically choose words that are too common. I think it's also imperative to make all passwords some combination of letters and numbers.
