Use a passphrase: a sentence you can remember. Then replace
each word of the phrase with its initial, a similar digit or symbol, or,
at random, use a whole word.
For example: My Dad Bob Yelled At My Idiot Brother
m d b y @ m ! b
The new password is mdby@m!b.
That may still be tough to remember. If you need to, write a
reminder and hide the paper somewhere safe. But write the phrase or a
hint, not the password.
Generally, if you have a strong
password, you don't need to change it unless you suspect you've been
hacked. But don't use the same one for different services.
