Suppose you live in Bhopal. Then you took the first word of all of I live in bhopal i.e. Ilib. Now it took g or f of facebook or the first word of any other app according to gmail. Also added numbers to remember always. This may include your date of birth or year. Then your Gmail password can be Ilibg2015 or Facebook password Ilibf2015. Similarly you can create passphrase.
