Personally, I think passwords are fun to create! I love to challenge myself to come up with something different from what others might do, because if someone knows you well and knows your families names or birthdays, it's supposedly easier to break a password based on those facts. I typically use letters mixed with numbers, but I haven't really done much with upper/lower case. Usually, I try to match the password to the topic of the website or program, but sometimes it's just a string of characters that make some sense to me that I can remember. I have lots of passwords
