I have discovered a method of creating passwords that has helped me 
greatly throughout the years. I learned it from this girl who was always 
teased in school for being "weird" LoL!  (Thank you Sharon......wherever 
you are!) So imagine you want to use the word "gasoline" as a 
password.......the simple trick is to "push" each letter over by one! 
That's it!....so instead of using the "g" from gasoline you'd use the 
next letter in line..(the "h")....and for the "a"...you'd use the 
"b"....and so on until you've replaced each letter. (For those who have 
the mental prowess and can manage it, there's also using the letter 
PREVIOUS to the one you have or the process of "skipping" letters as 
well...) but I've found that this method provides you with a password 
that appears to be gibberish to anyone else, but makes perfect sense to 
you!...
