I also made the password even harder to guess, essentially gibberish!

The best, hardest to crack, easy to remember passwords are
simply long phrases. Like:

"my favorite car was a 1973 chevy elcamino"

or

"I enjoy reading rec.crafts.metalworking when I really
should be working"

Not much fun to type in, but easy to remember.

Short passwords, even with gibberish aren't all that hard to
crack. At least that is what the security experts claim...
