The whole point of a password being secure it is being as long and complex as possible, write them down.
Having a 6 word, all lower case password of your pets name is half the reason people get brute forced. They are easy. These are not.
These are hard to remember. An example like the above is easy to remember but hard to guess.
I like the idea of taking a small sentence and making it a password. Something like "I_Like_#5!" is a 12 character, hard to brute-force password, but very easy to remember.
Also, special characters are definitely allowed because when there was big time hacking going on last year I locked my accounts by putting an umlaut over one of the characters.
