In the past i have used the same password (or similar) for logging into different sites like hotmail, internet banking, comsec, and forums. I know people who regularly change their passwords for security reasons but i was too slack to do that.
But i found this site that tests password strength and mine came in at 12%
So i made up another one which is now 80% strong and easy to remember.
I found if you put two exclamantion marks (!!) before or after a word it increases the strength a lot. The same if you use a mix of upper and lower case and insert a number in between the letters.
I thought that inserting a character with a high unicode like Chinese character 倫 (20523) would make it stronger but it rates them the same as using a simpler symbol like a !
Both of these passwords rate at 100% if you want to you use them for your internet banking
