Also, use words from more than one language.

Better is to use a password manager (Lastpass, Keepass,
PasswordSafe ...) to avoid the temptation of choosing easy passwords and
the difficulty of having to remember many different ones. Use one hard
to guess password to access the rest.

I have discovered a method of creating passwords that has helped me greatly throughout the years. I learned it from this girl who was always teased in school for being "weird" LoL!  (Thank you Sharon......wherever you are!) So imagine you want to use the word "gasoline" as a password.......the simple trick is to "push" each letter over by one! That's it!....so instead of using the "g" from gasoline you'd use the next letter in line..(the "h")....and for the "a"...you'd use the "b"....and so on until you've replaced each letter. (For those who have the mental prowess and can manage it, there's also using the letter PREVIOUS to the one you have or the process of "skipping" letters as well...) but I've found that this method provides you with a password that appears to be gibberish to anyone else, but makes perfect sense to you!...
