Don't remember a password at all. Remember a password formula!

How to make a password formula that generates a unique password for everything, and is easy to remember?

It has 2 parts:

1. A repeating part. This part stays the same always, and is essentially no different from what you had before (using the same passwords for everything), however this time your repeating part will be a little more complex. It will include lowercase and uppercase letters, and numbers and symbols.

2. A variable part. This part changes for each service that you use. Use something about that service that can generate a variable password component.

For Example:

Repeating Part: 55cB## (make it 5 or 6 characters long so you will never fall short on getting the minimum 8 total characters) (or make your variable part longer, but make sure you test it works out for everything)

Variable Part:

1. Facebook: The last three characters backwards: "koo" (potential problems, the service only has 2 characters)

2. Google: The first three characters in lowercase: "goo" (or the first 2 if less than 3 characters - just remember you will always need at
least 8 total)

3. YouTube: Start at the beginning, and jump one each time: "yuu"

4. Evernote: Lop the first and last characters: "vernot"


Note: You can choose to put the repeating part first, last, or split it half half. If you have a 6 character repeating part then it's easy to split.

Ideas to make the formula stronger:

1. If the service is more than 4 letters long, put the variable part at the beginning, and the repeating part at the end. If the name of the service is 4 letters or less, put the variable part at the end.

2. If the service begins with a vowel, put half your repeating part first, and then the variable part, and then the other half of the repeating part at the end.

3. Code vowels into their own numbers or symbols, or capitalize all vowels. e.g. a, e, i, o, u becomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
