In the military; we needed a few different passwords, and they changed often. Here is how I wrote passwords down so noone could use them and they can be any length.
I am using a standard computer keyboard(QWERTY).
I start with one line of keys going diagonally up or down. With the shift key, the same line can be caps. or lowercase and numbers or symbols.
For an actual password, Ill use BGT%6yhnMJU&
Start with holding the shift key and go up the line from B to the number 5.
Go down the next line from the number 6 to the letter n.
Shift key again up from the letter M to the number 7.
To write the password so noone can read it, the hint is B6Mr
Capital B so you know to start at the B line with the shift key for the entire line.
6 so you use the next line without the shift key. (^ if caps for that line).
Capital M for caps up that line.
r is the slant from the top line. If you go up the "B" line on a right slant, it is BGT%. if you go up the "B" line to the left, it is BHU*.
I usually use the same slant for all lines, but you could mix left and right.
When you write the hint; everything to the left of "r" is right slant, everything to the left of "l" is left slant.
VFR$4esz would be written as hint: Vr4l
Just hate to have 20 passwords to remember and writing them is risky. This works for me to create very secure passwords and hints hard to decipher.
Hope this helps.
