I have a system to remember most of them. Here is a more basic method.
Take a favorite phrase that you love, say TheQuickBrownFox. Perform some replacements. Say 0 for o, 1 for i, and # for e. You can go on and on with the replacements, but it gets complicated. It could be just a single favorite word, doesn't have to be a phrase, but pick a long and multi-syllable word.
Th#Qu1ckBr0wnF0x
Add some numbers before, after, or in the middle, that is significant to you. Say a spouse's birthday.
0101Th#Qu1ckBr0wnF0x1970
Then add something specific to the app or site. Say, TurboTax or WellsFargo.
0101Th#Qu1ckBr0wnF0x1970Turb0
W#lls0101Th#Qu1ckBr0wnF0x1970
Special Circumstances:
Some websites don't allow special characters like $, &, or %. Use capital letters to replace, say:
ThEQuick
Some websites have a maximum of 8 character passwords. Hopefully these aren't financial or government institutions, or anywhere that stores your SSN or credit card info... Just use a short word and some numbers.
If this is hard to remember, write your methodology, not the passwords themselves, in a password-protected file.
