While a vast improvement over the kinds of passwords many places would like to
impose, xkcd 936 passwords can still be difficult to remember. I prefer phrases
with context (and proper punctuation and capitalization if practical).
Something with context is generally easy for a human to remember, but difficult
for a machine to guess.

"keyboard television barf machine" or "Yay for the download counter!"
Which one is easier to remember and harder to guess?
