I could do that. I remember actually making a phrase from numbers once for something that needed just numbers for a password. That said, it have to be a phrase I can remember. And for most sites, I would need to make sure to add numbers and special characters (and they have to be special characters the site can use) That said, the reason I made this topic was because I had to change my Hulu password (which I dont ever remember doing since I made it), so a phrase might also be hard to remember when I changed it from a password I made years and years ago Though, it would be good for a password for a new account site if I need one (as long as I can think of an appropriate phrase. Many sites have extra restrictions like no common passwords, certain words not being used, no 3 numbers in sequential order, certain special characters not being used, and other things

Thats fair, phrases along with a password manager are what I use. I dont really remember the vast majority of my passwords but I use a password manager so if I need to check what it is I can.
