How to choose a secure password?

Think of a memorable phrase, such as:

"It's easier to believe than to think."

Then, change it to an acronym (including punctuation).

emfcqp.

Add a bit of complexity by substituting letters by numbers or symbols in the acronym. For example,

3m7 @ qp.

Add a little more complexity by capitalizing at least one letter, such as M.

3M7 @ qp.

Symbols administered in the password

 ! + -. ,; _ {} [] * | ñ
