My brother called my password 'a birthday gift for hackers'

He saw me type in my old password, which was just my dog's name and the year 2020, and said it would take a bot about 3 seconds to crack. I switched to using a passphrase with four random words and numbers, like 'correcthorsebatterystaple99'. What's a good way you guys come up with strong but easy-to-remember passwords?

Yeah, I used to just use my cat's name too, but that song lyric trick actually works great.
