I am glad to hear that you think the passwds above are not to difficult
to remember. mkpasswd creates passweds like this. I find them impossible
to remember. My plan is to:
1. uae a  word in a not commonly used language + a number. John the
Ripper has a hard time with Bantu for example or even Hebrew or Arabic.
2. Take a phrase you can remember like: I met my thrill on Blueberry
Hill and then alternate the first letters with upper and lower case.
