This is a really simple trick for remembering your passwords – choose a keyword, key phrase or key pattern and then modify it for each password.

For example, if your keyword is “bigrat” and you’re creating a password for Amazon, your new password is “bigratama” or “bigratamazon.” If you’re creating a password for Gmail, it would be “bigratgma” or “bigratgmail.”

You determine how many characters you use from each website and then stick with that number. In the Amazon examples, if your number is 3 then you would use the first password – if your number is 6, then use the second one.
