Password managers are a good possibility, but I'll just tell you what has worked for me for 30+ years.

1) Longer is better. A passphrase is easy to remember. Mine is a nine word lyric from a song of my childhood, not in English

2) It is the master password for an heavily encrypted file with a list of all the password for all my accounts. These passwords can be different for each account, can be gibberish, or just LONG passwords.

3) I need to only remember the master password, because I can copy and paste whatever I need from the file.

4) The file is on a flash drive on my key ring.

5) A have a back up file on another flash drive which is updated weekly. A paper copy of my passwords are kept in a secure location with my will, insurance policies, etc. My wife has memorized my passphrase.

That's my system. If you wish a suggestion on how to generate secure passwords, let me know.
