Tips and tricks for passwords

Hi HF,
Some of you may know this method, but I'm still sharing it with you guys :
How to have a solid password :
1) Take a sentence that only has a meaning for you, for example a quote. In this example, we'll use "The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."
2) Take the FIRST letter of each word in the sentence, don't forget punctuation : "Tggillninf,biretwf."
3) Take the year of birth of the person who said this sentence and append it at the end of the password with a & (in this example, 1918) : "Tggillninf,biretwf.&1918"
4) (optional) Add special symbols at the end of the password (!+,__,-_-,etc)
5) Done! You've got a solid, easy to remember password :)
(Additionally, make sure to pick a long sentence, at least more than 10 words so you'll get 10 caracters+symbols. Thanks to ETH for sorting that out :P)
it could be break by the brute forcing the password
you could use the argon2 for creating the strongest password

x) I know some methods could provide more secure passwords, but only a few of them give passwords you easily remember ^^ So i decided to share that one :P

Great share but can you add the minimum length of password !

o-O that's true time to edit that sir! Thanks for your good review :D
That is a good tip & instead of making it a word make it a phrase.

Yeah, it ain't dumb, will maybe add a part to this
I'll stick to the good old faithful keyboard smash.
Or you just use KeePassx, because memorizing a password like this for 50+ websites will be close to impossible - create a strong master password for KeePassx and within your .kdbx file, create strong passwords for every single site
Still, I like your approach and these passwords will surely be close to impossible to crack

Yeah, password managers do work, but if you have a hardware failure :/ Thanks for the up bro!

if you have a hardware failure it's backed up on the cloud lol
Don't worry about it just remember that master password
I don't know why I have never thought of this. Great advice. Thank you.
