Yes, of course, there is a XKCD for that!

Basically, don't trouble yourself with something hard to remember like this:

tH15-iz_my_pa55phras0rz

You should pick something easy to remember with multiple words like:

hey, you won't be able to guess this one even if you try, don't you agree?

... or something like that. :)
