XKCD example doesn't work for me.

I can't remember the example

Over the last four or five years https://xkcd.com/936/ has been quoted in these forums three or four times most years. Each time I've tried to remember the example password, but can't. Horse and Staple I can remember, was another of the words Door... No and what order are they?

I know if I had to use the password more often I might remember it but there are quite of few passwords I only need to use three or four times a year!

One password I use about monthly is something like sH68*452aX2 I can just about remember that. Some peoples brains seem to wired differently and can remember different things easier than other people.

I write them down physically but in an obfuscated way and don't carry the copy around.

My recommendation to friends and family is to use as a complex a password system as they find challenging but manageable.

Having throw away passwords for sites you don't worry about, but not 123456.

Capitalise say third or fourth character...
