I prefer a password with pronounceable content of nonsense words, separated by dashes, with some numbers and symbols in there somewhere. Such as: tostog-Meenish-flurbit-dalsag-3023# . It's long enough to be very secure, and easy to transcribe if I have to type it. None of the words are in a dictionary. I keep a big list in a note on my desktop, and peel'em off as needed, finally keeping the utilized PWs in Enpass.

I randomly generate a series of words for any password I may have to actually type in. If it's only going to be used on a device where I have bitwarden as an extension/app, it gets that max number of random numbers, letters, and characters. I love when websites are clear about the max allowed numbers, and absolutely hate the ones that limit it to like 16 characters. I think I saw one go as low as 14 for whatever fucking reason.
