I have the older version (non-subscription) of 1Password, but also make use of
the keychain password manager and the manager built-in to Safari (I use Safari
on both the mac and the ipad/iphone).

Only lately, when I'm offered a complex "strong password" of jibberish, I take
it. That's working well too.

But I also use a variation on the same password: I selected two capitalized
words (for instance ArchBasket with a few numbers, 245, then the first two
letters of the intended website, for instance AMazon. Then I use this same
password everywhere, with the exception of those last two letters.
ArchBasket245am, for Powell's books: ArchBasket245po.

It's easy to remember.

With the latter system, if someone ever found out your
Powell's password (say, a rogue Powell admin), they might
easily guess your amazon & other passwords from that.

Also, if you should occasionally change a password, what
are you going to change it to? Your system doesn't allow
a lot of variation.

(i keep passwords in an encrypted excel file. Excel
always works, and it's safe for cloud storage.)

The American version would be merde de cheval or possibly merde de
poulet, depending on the nature of the merde.

Or the Fountainhead. One of Toohey's disciples uses it in faux
brave nonconformist fashion pretending he is so brave saying
birdshit evem though nobody undrstsnds him to be outrwaged. this
contrasts to Roark who would just say burdsghit without nrrding
to outrage or shock.
