Revise the following poorly written sentences and paragraphs. Use lists, bullets, and category headings, if appropriate. Improve parallel construction and reduce wordiness.

Revise the following by incorporating a numbered list. Computer passwords are a way of life at this point in time. In the creation of a strong password, you should remember a few things. First, you should come up with an eight-word phrase that is easy to remember, such as this: my goal is a degree in 4 years. Then take each of those words and the first letter should be selected, such as this: mgiadi4y. The last step for creating a really strong password is to exchange—that is, swap out—some of those letters for characters and capital letters: Mgia$in4Y.
