Here's an interesting take on password strength.
I'm running into more websites that want you to...
Have one cap...
Have one number...
Have one special character...
No consecutive numbers...
No consecutive letters...
No keyboard series of letters...
More than 12 characters...
Two-factor authentication...
Etc.etc.etc.
Oh and change it every month.
And DON'T WRITE IT DOWN!!!!
I knew a guy at the phone company that had so many passwords he kept a binder just for logons and passwords.

Oh, for the old passwords that were easy to remember.
P@ssw0rd!
9 characters, upper and lower case, symbols, number.
No, I don't use this one ... yet!
John - I've seen that password on 'don't use' lists before.
I don't have a binder but a 2 page doc. so easy when I could just use my difficult maiden name and birthday. Damn
I get bummed out with passwords.
a phrase! have a fave phrase and use the first (or last0 letter of each word. choose a pet number and spec character %^&*#@+
