Memorable or meaningful passwords can be a negative as they can be
derived based on public information, etc.
But ones that are random strings of letters, numbers and punctuation
will have their own issues (like people writing them down on stickies)
If you can use the keychain and that should help mitigate the problem.
I used to work at a place where all the system assigned passwords
were quite good but so hard to remember that the monitor had a bunch
of stickies on it with all the passwords written on them :)
