    3131* "If possible" relates to the question: how can I remember such a password, or even many of them? The solution is very easy: there are password databases available (see [#ref1 (1)] for a good example). A password database allows users to store their username / password combinations along with other information belonging to the account in a strongly encrypted store. To unlock the store, only one, safe password must be remembered.

    33  To generate a safe, memorizable password, a variant of the passphrase method is a good approach. Instead of choosing phrases that appear somewhere in common text, a random sequence of words, named and other tokens can be chosen. Example: {{{Bolt911HammerWeatherFishTomato123upsideChicago}}}. This can be memorized and is probably not in public databases.

    3434* If the site offers it, use Two-Factor-Authentication, that means, log in with your password and a second key received by SMS, an app on your smartphone or on a specific One-Time-Password token.
