    Thanks for writing about this important security issue Olivia.

    We’ve had a number of people asking how they are supposed to remember lots of different passwords – even if they do follow your advice above about how to produce a harder-to-guess password.

    So, as well as releasing the research, we also produced a short and non-salesy (!) video explaining what people should do to create a hard-to-crack password, and how you could remember passwords on many websites.

    You are welcome to embed the video on your own website if you like

    Hope that helps,
    Graham
