For me the best way for a new password is to choose from something which is near you, like b`day dates/spouse name/ur name/ dog's name and so on.
Now a days ppl knows, that the person gotta be a fool to put a password like his own name - So they try other combination. That's outsmarting them. It works for me. But then i change my password every few days anyway. So i don't worry abt my accounts being hacked. Being through that many times when i was a novice on this world wide web. Not anymore
