I got this idea a long time ago and for all I know someone's already put it out there, but here goes anyway.  Every site in the universe wants a password these days - from banks and online stores to online publications and even some personal sites require registration (and no, not just cam sites - perv!).  Add this to your work passwords and you're probably juggling at least 4 and as many as one or two dozen passwords.  So I just wanted to share my little system for picking important passwords.  It's really simple: just take a song you know and pick a verse and/or chorus and use the first letter of every lyric as your password.  For passwords requiring numbers just do the obvious number-for-letter exchange (stuff like o=0, i=1 or l=1, even A=4, E=3 if you like and of course one=1 etc.) and off you go.  Your new password will be easy to remember (just don't sing it out loud as you type it) and virtually impossible to guess by a dictionary attack.  Even if someone knows the song you used, it would be tough to guess what verse, chorus comb you used and how you mixed up the letter/number exchanges.

Here's some examples (maybe you can guess the songs).
