Correct!
For amazon:
a goes to q
m goes to j
a goes to q
z does not appear in our word sequence.
So we will skip it
o goes to d
n goes to r
Add the string B7!
Do similarly for wikipedia
Correct!
Great! You just learned a new strategy for generating secure passwords. In the next page, we will ask you to design such a method for yourself.
Generate your own letrter code.
Press the Random letter button in front of each letter to get a random letter.

Letter code is not complete!
Now apply this method to your own letter code.
Read each row and type the first word that comes to your mind that starts
with the left letter and has the right letter as the next consonant.
You will use these words in the next steps of memorization, so be careful about typos.

Try generating passwords
Let's try this method to generate passwords for a few websites. Try to remember the information that you memorized and type passwords on your own. If you couldn't remember something, click on the hint buttons.
Website Name

Go over the name of the website letter by letter and type the mapping of each letter.
Type the special string.
Remember that you memorized the map only for the first 20 letters of the alphabet. If you see u,v,w,x,y,z in the website name, just skip to the next letter.

Text instructions
Select a random letter to consonant map for the first 20 letters of the alphabet, e.g.,
Memorize your mapping. Click on the video below to learn an easy memorization technique that helps you memorize your mapping in a few minutes.
Memorize the ending B7! (or one of your choice). This is important to make all of your passwords meet the requirements of different websites.
Given a website name, e.g., netflix, generate your password as follows:
Start with the first letter of the website name (n) and find its mapping in your table, (r). Output r. If the letter does not appear in your word sequence, output the wildcard x.
The next letter is (e), output g.
The next letter is (t), output y.
Repeat on the remaining letters of netflix till you reach the end, ( netflix --> rgybpl )
Attach your ending: netflix --> rgybplB7!. This is your password!
