choosing a safe Password

[Rattus]

"Through 20 years of effort, we've successfully trained everyone to use passwords that are hard for humans to remember, but easy for computers to guess."

I read a similar article a few weeks ago, I guess it makes sense if the passwords many of us use are computer generated, then it must be easy for another computer to guess them.  My saving grace is that I have a different password for every website I use, so guessing one wouldn't do too much damage.

I find lines from Shakespeare good but turning them into letters both lower and upper case, numbers and characters.
This was a suggestion I got many years ago and have found it quite useful!
