A way to generate and remember passwords: use an algorithm. Start
with a memorable sentence, for example:
"Trinity Desktop is my #1 website"
Replace parts of it to make a password:
"TD14=m#1ws"
where TD stands for the site's name, and 14 is the number of
letters in it. So for Facebook you could use
"FB8=m#1ws"
Of course you would use a different phrase in which you could
substitute more special characters.
Now all you need is the website name to reconstruct the password.

I store all my passwords in KeePass. It's a fine password save and
multi-platform (Linux <KeePassX>, Android, Windows). I only have to
use one master password. It creates passwords with different strenth.
You can have the encrypted passwords anywhere on a e.g. Dropbox
location to share the same database on all your devices.
Using it under TDE is especially handy for you can right click an
entry, copy username or password to clipboard without the KeePass
window coming to the front and hiding your input data fields (sorry
for the crude wording - non native speaker).
