Either way, the master pass is required for access to the other passwords.

Take the first letter of each word, keeping capitalization, and using numbers, not words. For example: The Yankees beat the Mets in 4 games in the World Series! Gives a password of: TYbtMi4gitWS! Doesn't make sense to anyone else but you won't forget.
