    Choose a book of your own choice. A book of fiction works best, however, a textbook will suffice.
    • Pick a book that is generally text-based.
  2. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/1\/17\/Hr.jpg\/460px-Hr.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/1\/17\/Hr.jpg\/728px-Hr.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>Image by: Uploader<br>\nLicense: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Then, place your finger on a random word (with your eyes still closed!) This word will be the first part of your secure password. Repeat the process two more times.

    If you feel like this would benefit the security of your password, capitalize the last letter of each word too.
  4. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/6\/6b\/WhyNotImage.jpg\/460px-WhyNotImage.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/6\/6b\/WhyNotImage.jpg\/728px-WhyNotImage.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>Image by: Uploader<br>\nLicense: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    If your password contains simple words (the, it, or, and, so, in, etc.), add an extra number.
  5. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/a\/a3\/SomewhereovertherainbowImage.jpg\/460px-SomewhereovertherainbowImage.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/a\/a3\/SomewhereovertherainbowImage.jpg\/728px-SomewhereovertherainbowImage.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>Image by: Uploader<br>\nLicense: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    This will add the final amount of security needed for a strong password.
