uncrackable passwords

These days we are putting everything(public or private data/information) on internet because of its availability anything- everywhere- anytime.

so i can say "day by day we are depending on internet, more and more" and we are forced to remember hundreds of passwords to websites and various other authentication systems which require passwords.

only and only most important thing is our secrete password (i say cheat code)

so we have bunch of account and information on web and it require only one thing that is password.
now how can we manage lot of password...

some guys use password related to personal info (like ex-GF name, dob,relatives name..bla bla )
but their limit is only A-Z or 0-9
and they made it very easy for us to enter into the Doors..
##by using social engg hacking attack or some black coding tools ##

so can we have such type of password which impossible to creak by any tool or Black hat guys
yess!!

we can make our password like that,,,,,,,,

so lets go ahead

 << Alphanumeric passwords >>

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + { } : " < > ? |
` - = [ ] ; ' , . / \


<<ALT-Chars Passwords >>

<<Mnemonic Passwords>>
or even you can use Mnemonic Passwords..
Mnemonic Passwords are passwords that are derived from simple passwords which the user will remember with ease but they use mnemonic substitutions to give the password a more complex quality.
