PerryLorier's prefered way of choosing passwords:
tr -dc ' -~' < /dev/urandom | head -c 20
(every time you waste a cat, god kills a kitten)
Highly recommended for everybody.
(His new password is _]}e9pgU5-u6_hr[KF|*).
Another popular method is to take the first letter of each word in a line from a song (eg I want to ride my bicycle -> iw2rmb), or a phrase you can remember and changing letters to numbers (foursquare -> f0ursqu4r3)
If none of these methods are to your liking, you can always set your password to gandalf. This is highly original, and noone is likely to think of it.
