I use old addresses of places I've lived at over the years for passwords. It's pretty secure, tough to guess and very easy to remember, etc..
Example: Suppose you used to live at 385 N Main Street, Toledo, Ohio 47345 (I don't know the Toledo zip codes so I'm just guessing and probably wrong) I might make my password 385NmsTo,45, perhaps 385nMs,TO473 ..I typically just use the last few numbers of zip codes, but it can be any part of them.
You can't really go wrong because many sites require upper and lower case, often a symbol such as a comma, ~+%..(whatever symbol you prefer) and numbers. Banks are big on this and most sites have minimum characters that can be used, usually a min of 8. My most common pw has 12 characters.
Anyway..Old addresses are easy to remember and you have unlimited configurations of ways to set them up as long as you remember which parts are upper case, lower and so on.. I switch up the case often enough.. No need for a password keeper this way.. Just remember where you used to live.
My early pw's were even simpler, 103cit60, but I began adding different case, symbols and so on. My wife hates my system, but I always remember them.
