Passwords are hard to remember. Randomly generated passwords are just annoying. Here is my password strategy... I string together a few easy to pronounce phonemes followed by a number. I find that if I pronounce a nonsense word plus a number in my head that I can remember it for a few minutes at least. This is good if I want to create a password for a user and then go over to another machines to type it in. I don't have to write the word and number down. For example todami54 is easy to say and easy to remember.
