The key is to use a password (or phrase) with a decent level of
password entropy.

I normally recommend people use a local password manager like
KeyPassX, which is what I use to generate passwords with high levels
of entropy (usually well over 128-bits) without having to worry about
remembering anything except the passphrase to open KeePassX.
