Another simple way to generate strong passwords is derived from xkcd: Password Strength.

Diceware is another passphrase generator following the proposals of Arnold G. Reinhold on http://diceware.com . It generates passphrases by concatenating words randomly picked from wordlists.

Randall Munroe did offer us a solution: a Correct Horse Battery Staple. By memorizing a long phrase, a greater number of bits are more easily encoded in a user’s memory, making a password much harder to crack. ‘Correct Horse Battery Staple’ only provides a 44-bit password, though, and researchers at the University of Southern California have a better solution: prose and poetry. Just imagine what a man from Nantucket will do to a battery staple.
