I'll make this brief. This is my solution to passwords: (over simplified for this example)

Tb0n2B*1st
Tb0n2B*Van
Tb0n2B*Ama

This would mean "To be or not to be". Use a 'zero' for the "oh", mix caps and lower case. Any phrase that you choose works here. I used a Shakespeare quote for a long time. Scripture quotes, famous speeches, etc. all can be used here, the longer the better as long as you're completely familiar with it.
This is followed by the star but any punctuation mark or top row symbol can be used.
Follow that with the first 3 or 4 letters of the site you're logging into. In the above example, "1st" would be my bank, "Van" is my Vanguard account, "Ama" is Amazon and so on.
I recently was required to change a password. All I did was change the last 3 reminder letters and continued with the basic password.
This has worked perfectly for me for at least the last couple years. I keep a list in an Excel file, which itself is password protected, but it's really not necessary as this idea is easy to remember.

It's also very free....
