I agree except for the "no characters in alphabetical order" part. You know damn well everyone is writing their password on a Post-It when the restrictions reach that point.

Make your password the first letter of an easily remembered sentence. For instance "You can't ever be too careful" becomes: "Ycebtc". Even better would be "Uceb2c!"

Just make your password that sentence - you're remembering the same amount of information, but the resulting password is much more secure.
