Personally, I advocate using smart password generators like apg. The password truly is a random distribution of junk, but one that can be pronounced (a key factor in remembering it).
But that is the whole point... once you get beyond 3, 4 or 10+ passwords, 'remembering' them is the problem.
That, again, is why I like pwm... I only have to remember my 3 or 4 Master Passwords (and which category an account is in, but I have a system and that is not a problem).
The passwords it generates *are* as close to random as you can get, while still capable of being 'generated' each time by PWM...
Even if I were to lose my settings file (which is kept on a Truecrypt container) which contains all of the accounts and settings, I could recreate the changes/modifications I have made to it... it would take a little while, but I could do it...
I've been using it for many years, and it has never failed me...
