“Why don’t you use “password” ?” because ‘password’ is one of the most common passwords, so if somebody tries to guess, this will probably be one of the first guesses
@redback from yesterdayLastPass is web-based, encrypts on your computer, then LastPass encrypts that encryption string on their servers. If my hard drive needs reformating (done that) I add the LastPass extension to my browser, input master password and all my 100+ difficult passwords are available to me. LastPass is free, but they offer more layers of protection for a fee.
I have a nonsense word that I use for sites that insist on passwords but don’t have any sensitive information, and several variations on it if they want something longer. It’s easy for me to remember, but not in any dictionary so no human is likely to guess it.

No, five fives. Five ones would be complicated.

For my less sensitive accounts I use my astrological sign with the day of my birth.
