My method is to think of a humorous sentence, capitalize the words to be emphasized, take the front letters of each word + punctuation and use that to come up with a password.

This sentence doesn't really make sense but it's used to generate a password so I guess it makes more sense than most people do.

Password: TsdrmsbiutgapsIgimmstmpd.

^ LOL that works.

Another method is to "split" passwords - you use a base password and add a different suffix for each account.

^ yes, that's a method i use. example:

base: Penisgezicht1234
website: LinuxBBQ
password: Penisgezicht1234%LinuxBBQ

(i dont use this exact example, stop trying to 'hack' into my account! ;)

Beware though, if they're English words or connected with you or the site, it won't be too hard to crack such a password.

Some more password-related links - if you've learned probability theory, you'll appreciate them more. Don't take shortcuts while reading.
