The thing I hate the most is random websites forcing you to use a password with "at least 8 characters, capital letters, numbers, .."
I only care about my email account and a couple of other important websites.
I want to be able to use the same simple password on other websites.
So what if my account on pinterest or my local news website or some random forum is compromised... I don't care. I will either reset my password or make a new account.
If you want to feel better about those websites, Provident CU makes you pick a username with the same rules, including capitals and numbers when you register for online banking.
Someone in their IT department is the Grand High Idiot of Cargo Cult Security.

You can come up with a simple and easy-to-remember phrase for those. If it expresses your irritation with those rules and annoying mandatory logins, it's easier to remember. For example, FuckOff1234!
same here
I have good passwords on my password manager for things that I care about
a password for things I don't care that much enough to use the manager
and a password for throwaway stuff
