"Password of Three Random Words Better than Complex Variation, Experts Say"

The UK National Security Centre recommends using three random words as passwords because they are easy to remember and are often stronger that the combinations of letters and numbers that people are led to create. Their research found that hacking software targeted predictable strategies meant to make passwords more complex. Example of substituting the letter O with a zero or the number one with an exclamation mark. For best results, use three random words—not related or predictable words. While not perfect, the three random words offers increased security.
